Description zedstar 2000-01-28 16:00:01 UTC 
Trying to use an old 3com isa  half duplex nic. It doesnt seem to use the default setup on bootup of initial installation even when skipping the setup program and letting it use all settings. It picks it up on bootup as a card on 0x360 but as i looked through the kernel config files there doesnt seem to be a nic that is supported on that high an isa setting or am i being silly?

I looked at the website and found "device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr " i set this up in the new specific kernel and changed the port to 0x360 as this is the one that freebsd picked up the isa card on boot. Still no luck...I havent tried changing isa position yet but was just wondering should this make a difference?

I'm not sure what you're asking about; while the 3.4 if_ep driver supports
hard wired 'hints' it has code that probes for 3c509s and detects -any-
that are installed.  It will attempt to match up those it finds with the
hints specified in the kernel config file but if there are no matches it
will just use what it finds.

Does your card work or not?

'ep' seems to be my problem.
