IRQ 10 isn't available on my ethernet card. IRQ 2 >(same as IRQ9), IRQ 3, and IRQ 5 are. Doesn't NetBSD look into a file >to get these parameters when it boots? Which file is this? Thanks. Your card will probably be "soft-configurable" so if it's an 8bit card (otherwise it DOES have irq 10 in soft-config-mode) then set it to one of the other values. I have been told that trying to use the hard-configured jumpers will often not work, while soft-configuring does. (I'm talking about the same driver but I have not used it with an ne2000) Cheerio -- The cost of living hasn't affected it's popularity.
