If I compile the kerne to use the device on a free IRQ that isn't used by anything else, is that all I need to do in the way of setting the IRQ? Or is there something on the card that needs to be configured to use a certain IRQ? I double checked earlier to make sure nothing else compiled into my kernel was using that IRQ, and I booted into visual configuration and no conflicts were reported. Somone told me it wants IRQ5, so I compiled using that IRQ and still got the message. Somone else said something about going into BIOS settings and making the IRQ ISA useable. IRQ 5 was listed as "Used by ISA card". Also I have the cables plugged in, and both the hub and the card itself report a carrier on the line, and I even see the "data transmit" LED light up sometimes (for example while I was recompiling one of the kernels). I appreciate the help, but I'm at a loss as to what to do. _The Complete FreeBSD_ dosn't have much about hardware in it. And none of the other books I have say anything about hardware. > Hope this helps... > > Rich Thanks for your help, Espo --part1_19fa593b.24971faa_boundary-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
