After reading through the FreeBSD Faq's and Mailing List Archives, I determined that the Intel EtherExpress isn't supported very well in the current 2.2.6 release. After pulling our hair out for four or five hours trying to get it working, we gave up, determining that it would be easier for us to get new ethernet cards. I wish there was a better solution for this, I think I have 15-20 EtherExpress's sitting around down here. :) -- John -----Original Message----- From: cdcd To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tuesday, April 21, 1998 8:01 PM Subject: Ethernet initialization... >Hello, > > I have an Intel Etherexpress... > I/O: 300 > IRQ: 5 > > Anywho...
