I've found an interesting document http://www.jfitz.com/tips/freebsd_etherexpress16.html and configured the card according to recommendations there (except the RAM start address): I/O Address: 300 Interrupt: 5 Connector Type: RJ 45 Force 8 bit Operation: No Amount of RAM to Map: 32K RAM Start Address: D800h Flash/Boot ROM Address: Flash/Boot ROM disabled Flash Remote Boot Program: None Then I've put this in the kernel config: device ie0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 and 'boot -v' didn't detect the card. I'll try different io's and IRQ's. I would not exclude the possibility that all 3 cards that I have are bad. BTW, they pass the softset's testing utility, but I don't know how reliable these tests are. Good luck with your work on the driver -- it's nice to know someone is working on that! Thanks.
