Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I know from looking back through the archive that there has been a lot of past discussion of this card, but none of it seems to answer my problem. I recently installed FreeBSD on a 486DX-2 66. When the machine is booting the card seems to be registering the network ... the top light on the back of the card is on ands the bottom light flashes. When the boot cycle probes it, it finds the card alright, correct port (300) memory address (d000) and irq (10). It does this with both the ie0 and ie1 drivers when I have them at those settings. However, after the card is probed, the bottom light ceases to flash and the network is always unreachable. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
