The following reply was made to PR kern/11438; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Nick Hibma <nick.hibma@jrc.it> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, efbatey@yahoo.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/11438: clueless how to discover my NE2000 clone IRQ / MemAddr Date: Sun, 06 Jun 1999 14:13:32 +0200 possible approaches 1) Abuse Windows'95: use the hardware overview from the control panel to detect what hardware resources the device takes. 2) use many many lines in your kernel config to check for every possible location. An NE2000 card is often somewhere in the 280-360 range. Like this (this is for a 4.0 kernel, make sure you use lines which work for you): device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 device ed0 at isa? port 0x290 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 device ed0 at isa? port 0x310 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 device ed0 at isa? port 0x320 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 reconfig the kernel, build, install and reboot and se what dmesg reports. Use the same approach for the irq (possible locations: 3,4,5,7,9,11,12,13) 3) Check the hardware itself by ripping open the box. Maybe it has the settings written onto it next to the dip switches. if that does not solve your problem, you might want to submit your question to the freebsd-questions mailing list or check the archives at http://www.egroups.com Hope this helps.
