How can I force kernel to probe the >3rd card or is there a way I can assign the 3rd card to occupy at a different >memory segment? (like 0x250?) Never saw 3C309B - are sure it's 309B - not 509B? If it's 509B then you could fo the following: Go to 3com web site to the support area http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/3c509b.htm and download V6.1 Ether disk (or go to ftp://ftp.3com/pub/nic/3c509 and download two files - 3c509x1.exe and 3c509x2.exe) unpack everything on two floppies. Boot MS DOS without any extra drivers. On the second disk you can find 3c5x9cfg.exe - run it and configure card like you want. Note, that everytime you set up some parameter conflicting with other cards, the program will warn you, but it allows to save parameters in any case. Also I recomend to download 3Com NIC detection utility. It allows you to detect any 3Com cards (if you run it from MS DOS), prints all parameters for all cards even they have conflicting parameters - ftp://ftp.3com/pub/nic/crdfnd.exe Hope, it will help. > >Your help is appreciated. >Thanks, >Eric > > >PS....This is strictly used for my home PC and it is being built to act as a >router. > > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
