Hi.
When upgrading a box from current ~ 1999-11-15 to ~ today, the 3c509b
network interface fails to work.
These are the kernels (the first one working, the second one not).
/kernel.old:
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #1: Mon Nov 15 00:03:00 CET 1999
/kernel:
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Nov 26 00:05:43 CET 1999
The first one has this configuration line for ep:
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
and the card gets attached as follows:
1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300
ep0 at port 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa0
ep0: aui/utp/bnc[*UTP*] address 00:a0:24:77:5d:eb
when running today's GENERIC kernel I get this instead:
ep0: <3Com EtherLink III (3c509-Combo)> at port 0x300-0x30f irq 9 on isa0
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
...
Ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
(which is totally bogus, of course).
I've tried both with PnP disabled and enabled in the BIOS.
Any hints and/or suggestions?
