Lines: 25 Message-ID: <31bimb$ak1@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: nostromo.eeap.cwru.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I've got an oldish cabletron network card (1989 AUI and Thin) which works OK with Linux... but I am dissatisfied with the Linux network code, and would MUCH prefer BSD. on start up with the FreeBSD boot disks all of the hardware is checked out up until just after mcd1...and there it hangs... when I remove the network card it proceeds just fine...and when I set the card's base address to 0x300 it proceeds past mcd1 and claims NOT to find ed0 @ 0x280 (correct) and ed1 @ 0x300 (which SHOULD be the location of my card)... at any rate Linux is able to use the card configured at either of these addresses...but FreeBSD is not...so right now I'm stuck...any help welcome (will even accept cheap offers on a 3c509)... -Tim (curses Cabletron forever...release the damned programming info already!) -- Timothy J.
