The ne2000 nic has setup utility that you run from ms/dos that you can set the nic's irq with. If you did not get one in the box the Nic came in them check out the MFG website. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Gary Aitken Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 8:18 PM To: freebsdQ@circusstreet.freeserve.co.uk Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: USB/NE2000 IRQ conflict? I have a similar problem, so I'll wait before posting to see what suggestions others have for solutions to yours. . I've managed to hack my way around my problem by freeing up some low irqs -- disabling one of the com ports (irq 3) and the parallel port in the bios, and taking them out of my system configuration in a custom kernel. I'm not sure I needed to get rid of the parallel port, but I'm not using it anyway. It's a real hack, but doing so allowed my two NE2000 cards to be placed at irq 3 and 5, and then everything worked.
