FreeBSD 2.2.2 does support them - they map out as 'lnc0'... etc. - Be careful when configuring them - a normal 'visual' kernel config won't let you set the DMA for them (at least that's what I've found) - so either put the correct DMA, IRQ & Port in the Kernel config (I don't beleive these cards actually use the IO mem settings?) - and you should be OK... If you need to change the kernel config and want to do this at boot time, boot with a '-c', then go into 'CLI Kernel configuration mode', and issue commands like:- drq lnc0 7 irq lnc0 9 port lnc0 340 You can then do a 'vis' command to go back into visual mode - just don't delete the lnc0 you just configured... ;-) If you need more help with these cards let me know (we seem to be a magnet for them - they do seem to be pretty fast ISA / Embedded network cards ;-) - At the last count we had 7+ of the things... ) Kp Lars Hansson wrote: > > I have a HP Vectra N2 computer wich has an amd am2100/am1500 compatible network card built in (at least thats what Win95 said and it worked with it...). > However, FreeBSD 2.2.2 doesnt seem to support it. I cant find it mentioned anywhere in the docs and AMD's website doesnt have any info on what cards it's compatible with. Does FreeBSd support it?
