I'm a FreeBSD rookie and I've used the online resources as best I know how,
but I'm stuck.  I finally got my sound card to work (by turning on PnP in
the system BIOS), but this prevents the ethernet card from working.

When I boot up with PnP disabled in the BIOS, the ethernet card works fine,
but the kernel does not recognize the sound card (a SoundBlaster AWE64).  If
I use "dmesg | grep pcm", I get nothing.  Running "dmesg | grep ed0" results
in:
  ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (ProLAN)> port 0xfcc0-0xfcdf irq 10 at device
15.0 on pci0
  ed0: address 00:20:78:17:80:53, type NE2000 (16 bit)

If I turn on PnP in the BIOS, the sound card is recognized by the kernel,
but now the ethernet card doesn't work.  Running "dmesg | grep sbc" results
in:
  sbc0: <Creative SB AWE64> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq
5 drq 1,5 on isa0
  pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.16> on sbc0
Running "dmesg | grep ed0" results in:
  ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (ProLAN)> irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0
  device_probe_and_attach: ed0 attach returned 2

My kernel config looks like this:
  options  PNPBIOS   # added for sound card
  <<many lines removed>>
  # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these
NICs!
  device  miibus  # MII bus support
  device  ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
  # these two lines work with PNP enabled in the BIOS setup
  device   pcm
  device   sbc

I've also tried, to no avail, replacing the "device sbc" line with:
  device sbc0  at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15

The result of uname -a is:
FreeBSD gaillard.my.domain 4.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE #18: Sun Aug  4
18:22:17 PDT 2002
root@gaillard.my.domain:/usr/src/sys/compile/RUSTYKERNEL  i386

Sorry for the long message... thanks for reading this far.  Any tips would
be enormously appreciated.
Rusty
