The answer is in the list archives at http://www.FreeBSD.org/search, the 3C509 can't be used in pnp mode by ep. You have to use the 3Com Etherdisk to switch off pnp on the card and give it i/o address and irq not in use on your system. Harry> I cannot create a device for ep or ep0 using /dev/MAKEDEV. Lan cards don't need a device entry in /dev. Eric Masson -- Progress (n) : What led from smart users in front of dumb terminals to dumb users in front of smart terminals.
