Bug 17628

Summary:	3c509b hangs on running ifconfig
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	ecco <ecco>
Component:	i386	Assignee:	Matthew N. Dodd <mdodd>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me
Priority:	Normal
Version:	3.3-RELEASE
Hardware:	Any
OS:	Any

Description ecco 2000-03-27 23:30:01 UTC

During installation, the 3c509 is correctly found and initialized, but when it comes to Network configuration, it freezes after saying "Yes" to "Do you want to bring up the ep0 interface right now?". A cold reboot seems to be the only possible solution.
The same thing happens if I answer "No" to the above question and instead run ifconfig manually.
The same card works fine on Linux, OpenBSD, Windows for Workgroups 3.11/DOS and Windows 95.

How-To-Repeat: Run the 3.3/4.0 installation program, set up the nic and try bringing it up.

Make sure you disable all non-present hardware drivers in the visual user
config.

'ep' seems to be my problem.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Older systems had devices that would step on probed 'ep' cards.
