Subject:    ex0 driver problem

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?
