Originally, I started out with 1 adapter with a BNC port at io port 0x300, memory 0xd800, and irq 5. This worked fine. I then place another 3Com 3c503 with a UTP port (intending for this machine to be a gateway) at io port 0x310, memory 0xc800, and irq 3 (I disabled com2). Both of the adapters passed the 3Com diagnostics, but FreeBSD does not detect either one. Further, after I took out the card with the UTP port, FreeBSD doesn't detect the old one that it used to. If I put a 3c509 in the machine, the GENERIC kernel will recognize that card fine but it won't find any combination of 3c503's that are in the machine. Note that for every configuration I tried, the cards all passed the 3Com diags, but the kernel did not recognize the cards. The machine is a Am486dx4/100, btw. And now it doesn't even work with the same config that used to work earlier. :( If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. Also, as a side note, I've been getting some strange errors on boot up regarding my first com port. Here is an extract of my dmesg: ... sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: irq maps 0x1 0x1 0x1 0x1 sio0: probe failed test(s); 0 1 2 4 6 7 9 sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 8250 sio1: disabled, not probed ... - --- John Baldwin - -- jobaldwi@vt.edu -- jbaldwin@freedomnet.com -- ---- http://www.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ ---- "I waited for the Lord on high/I waited and He heard my cry." - Petra -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQB1AwUBNenlSIjYza302vYpAQFaNgMAgk1KmVBBKovVfNi/c9rKwuESChmiUfNN OU9863YD/7sWkYdjgrk22UNFGoJRAXZYcSSBQgbSYxRg5BNZyEOOzMsTBfWKxw+v qHZV6A3iP+nW+hlYjPuNxtuPxifzMM2s =5R9e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
