I am a new FreeBSD user, and have just installed FreeBSD 2.2.2 on the second hard drive in my PC at work. During the configuration, I chose the Intel EtherExpress 16/16TP driver (ex0) and modified the driver parameters to use IRQ 5. All other driver parameters were left at the default values. This is an inherited PC, and I do not have the documentation that came with the card. The reason I changed to IRQ 5 is because the device manager running under Windows 95 reports the card as using IRQ 5, I/O addresses 0x300-0x30F with no conflicts. An Intel utility, called softset, reports the same parameters and tests the card as being functional. However, during boot, I get the message that ex0 was not found at 0x300, and if I try to use the configuration utility /stand/sysinstall to postconfigure a new network interface, ex0 does not appear in the list of interfaces. Is there anything else I can do to determine why the card is not being found? Richard Dunn-Roberts dunnro@aaicorp.com
