I just installed an NE2000 ethernet clone (Kaytron) in my 486/33 running 
FreeBSD 1.1R. I have defined it in the kernel config file as ed0 on IRQ 2 
base addr. 0x320. The problem I'm suffering from is that it will boot, 
the ethernet will work fine for several hours (give or take an hour) and 
then all of a sudden hang. It's as though the ethernet card isn't getting 
reset correctly or something. Has anyone out the suffered a similar 
situation? Does anyone have any idea what I can do to remedy this? Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.
