Hi all-

 I just recently upgraded to 4.0-CURRENT, and I can't seem to get the new
ep driver to recognize my 3c509b card (yes, I know it's an awful NIC, but
it's what I have, and it's worked fine for me).

 I have "device ep0" (and nothing else)  in my kernel configuration
file. Upon booting, I do see:

 
isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
ide_pci0: <Intel PIIX3 Bus-master IDE controller> at device 7.1 on pci0
pci0: UHCI USB controller (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x7020) at 7.2 irq 9
vga-pci0: <ATI model 4755 graphics accelerator> at device 15.0 on pci0
pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x121a, dev=0x0002) at 17.0
--> isa0: if_ep: Adapter at 0xb30 in PnP mode! <--
sb_reset_dsp failed
fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold


 However, FreeBSD doesn't automatically bring up the interface, and when I
manually do an "ifconfig ep0 inet 10.0.0.2 mask 255.255.0.0" I just get:


ifconfig: interface ep0 does not exist


 In 3.3-STABLE, I had disabled PNP and had set it to port 0x330 irq 7, and
I could just say put a "device ep0 at isa? port 0x330 net irq
7". Obviously, that doesn't work for the new driver.


 I tried searching the archives for information, but couldn't see anything
(actually, the last entry I found was a call for somebody to put their
3c509b card into PNP and make sure that the driver works).
 
 Is there just some step that I'm missing to make the kernel expose the
interface for the ep card? (ls /dev/ep* shows nothing).

Thanks.
Eric
