This tells the PAO code to look in the CIS for the hardware address, while my modifications to the 'ed' driver dig it out from the normal location hung off the 8390 as per the NE-2000. > When I insert the card: > > Code 240 not found I've never seen this message before. Try paring your /etc/pccardd.conf file right down to the bone, in case this is a syntax error there. > I've set up ed0 and ed1 in my kernel config as follows (just in case the > card wanted to be at fixed places or have fixed irq's): As long as you have a message coming up after the 'ed0' signon saying "pccard driver ed0 added", there's a free 'ed' device for the card probe to attach to. > Version = 4.1, Manuf = [PMX ],card vers = [PE-200] That's the only really critical bit at this point, and it looks OK. You could also look at the ed_probe_pccard() function in /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c, and add a few quick debugging printfs to see whether the NE2000 probe is being called and whether it is finding the card. Also check that the resources you advertise at the top of /etc/pccardd.cond actually match those available in your system.
