: The default installation kernels recognize your family of ethernet cards
: at the following addresses:
: ed0 at isa? port 0x280 iomem 0xd0000 irq 9 # WD/SMC, 3C503, and NE[12]000
: ed1 at isa? port 0x250 iomem 0xd8000 irq 9 # ethernet cards
: ed2 at isa? port 0x300 iomem 0xcc000 irq 10
: So it looks like picking the values in the last line should work for you.
On my i386 NetBSD boxes I just changed the ed0 line to match the settings
of the card, and then rebuilt the kernel. Works like a champ.
