First of all, PCI devices are by definition "Plug and Play", in that they automatically determine their IRQ and port address. You can control the IRQ from the BIOS setup, but that is not the concern here. To get your PCI card working: 1. Either rebuild your kernel reconfiguring ed0 with the proper settings, or use the command line UserConfig to set it up. visual limits the ports too low. 2. I believe newer versions of FreeBSD (2.1..6?; 2.2)'s ed0 driver will properly pick up PCI NE2000 cards. I'm not sure offhand. Hope this helps.
