I am having trouble getting my 8-bit 3c503 to work under NetBSD-0.9.
This card had been working correctly under DOS and BSDI the day before
and passed 3com diagnostics.

Initially I used the kc-aha-09p1.fs to install and was going to install
via FTP.  My 3c503 does not have a jumper setting for memory at 0xd000
so I used ed1 (0x250 mem@0xd800).  When I booted off the hard drive
the card was correctly identified as an 8-bit 3c503.

So far so good, However; when I did an ifconfig I almost immediately
got the following kernel message "ed1: device timeout" and when I tried
to connect via FTP was unable to do so.

Fortunately I was able to dig up a SCSI tape drive and was able to
install.

After installing I first rebuilt the kernel (I did not apply the patch)
with one ed? device at 0x250 @0xd800.

This kernel gave the same results as the distributed kernel.

I then built a kernel with the ec0 device at 0x250 @0xd800.  With
this kernel I was able to run ifconfig without any complaints but
was unable to ping.  When I ran "arp" it indicated an incomnplete
arp, however on another machine that tried to ping the NetBSD system
the arp had been completed successfully.

Next I set the arp (arp -s) address manually and tried a ping again.
No luck.

I will look into this problem but could use all the help I can get.
