I recently installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on my computer with an EtherExpress 16
network card. It works fine under DOS, Windows, and Linux. Probing works and
the card seems to be recognized, but when ifconfig runs I get a segmentation
fault and must reboot. I've disabled all uneccessary devices, recompiled the
kernel, and tried putting my card on different ports, IRQs, etc.
Has anyone gotten this card to work? Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. (Otherwise I'll have to go back to Linux :-)
