Hi. I'm facing the following problem with my ethernet pccard. I installed FBSD 4.8 on my ThinkPad 570 via ftp using the above mentioned ethernet card (using ed(4) driver). No problems occured. So now I have a 4.8 box installed. But after I reboot and started my new FBSD box the same ethernet device didn't seem to work anymore: >ed1: device timeout Here what man 4 ed sais: "ed%d: device timeout" Indicates that an expected transmitter interrupt didn't occur. Usually caused by an interrupt conflict with another card on the ISA bus. This condition could also be caused if the kernel is configured for a different IRQ channel than the one the card is actually using. If that is the case, you will have to either reconfigure the card using a DOS utility or set the jumpers on the card appropriately. But it worked fine while the installation process! I've no idea what could have happened. Maybe this is a sort of IRQ problem, but AFAIK the newly installed box should use the same kernel as've been used while istalling the system. I don't know where to look for IRQs bindings my FBSD box uses right now. Unfortunately, I forgot to install kernel srcs, so now I can't even recompile the kernel. Here is a more precise information: >dmesg config> en ed0 config> po ed0 0x280 config> ir ed0 10 config> iom ed0 0xd8000 config> f ed0 0 ... pccard: card inserted, slot 0 pccard: card removed, slot 0 pccard: card inserted, slot 0 ed1: at port ........ irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 ed1: address ..........., type NE2000 (16bit) ed1: device timeout ... ed1: device timeout I wonder what those commands in /boot/kernel.conf mean (config> strings in dmesg)? >less /etc/rc.conf | grep pccard pccard_enable="yes" pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" pccard_mem="defalt" pccardd_flags=" -i 3" Have no idea, how to solve this problem :(help
