I am trying to get a network card working on the 4.1 CD dated 7/28/00.
Can this level of system be made to work?
I have tried:
0) reading this thread :)
1) configuring the ed0 driver to use irq 9 (boot -c)
2) making a kernel to do the same
3) adding irq 9 as a interupt in pccard.conf
4) disabling the IR port, serial port, and the parallel port
excerpted portions of dmesg:
config> di adv0
config> en ed0
config> po ed0 0x280
config> ir ed0 9
config> iom ed0 0xd8000
config> f ed0 0
config> q
