In fact here is the ifconfig statement from my /etc/syconfig: ifconfig_ep0="inet 206.126.50.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 206.126.50.255" Its pretty much the same with all my fbsd boxes, and to be honest, I've never had a problem with it, now my kingston nic card... well.. thats another story. Oh yeah, here's the relevant chunk from my kernel config file: device ep0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 12 vector epintr I've come to the conclusion that trying to put a 3c509 on port 0x300 is just plain silly, no matter the OS, every manufacturer and their brother wants to sit on 0x300 by default.
