Everything worked fine, except for one thing: On some older machine I have a NE2000 network card installed. I'm talking about the original ISA-thing from Novell. This card has always been working fine with the following line in the kernel configuration file: device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 9 iomem 0xd8000 In a new kernel I compiled (using sources I cvsupped yesterday) this line does not seem to work. The kernel compiles fine, but when trying to boot it it hangs at the point where it should recognize the network card. I tried several things, for instance re-jumpering my card in order to use different IRQs and ports, but it didn't work. Looking at the LINT file I saw that nothing has changed with the way of configuring my card. Also the UPDATING file in /usr/src didn't say anything useful. I'd be glad if somebody could suggest a solution. I don't expect the FreeBSD source code to be broken, but since I don't see something has gone wrong on my side either, I suppose that something is just not working the way it should. So any suggestions are welcome... Nils Holland, nils@nightcastleproductions.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
