Hopefully someone will help me out. My laptop is a Acer Extensa 392c with Texas Instrument PCI Cardbus 1250 Controller. The two cards I tried are DAYNA Communicard E and ACCTON EN2216-2. Both are NE2000 clone and on the PAO supporting list. I bought the ACCTON card 2 weeks ago. Mr. Sizemore succeeded in getting a ACCTON EN2216 (don't know -1 or -2) to work with a Acer Extensa 390 so I had lots of hope on this one. (about the difference: I think the 392c and 390 are quite the same; ACCTON EN2216-1 is a 10Base-T model, ACCTON EN2216-2 is a 10BaseT and 10Base2 Duo, autodetect under win95). What he did is installing PAO patch by default and it works immediately. I tried the same thing, either card was probed successfully. Name of the card and right physical address was displayed. Then when I brought the card up, I would always have a "ed0: device timeout" message. I even could not ping my gateway. There are someting I have tried: I tried to change the port, irq for pcic0 and ed0. First I tried to follow all the information given by win95, then I found it makes no difference. One interesting thing is: under win95, the controller is on irq 9 and ethercard is on irq 10. However under FreeBSD, the only way I got the card probed is assigning them the same irq. I tried irq 10 and irq 5 and I can not tell the difference. Though under win95 my build-in sound card uses the irq 5. So please help. If you need more information about my computer, please email me at jaypeng@crab.rutgers.edu. Thank you!
