Hello.

I am setting up with the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CDROM, and having problems
getting the Intel Ether Express PRO/100 ethernet card to work.  I had
it set up as ix0 at 0x300 IRQ 10, but that didn't work properly.  I
then removed the card, and put in a 3C509 at the same interrupt and
address, and used boot: -c to remove the ix0 and add the ep0 (3Com
card) and the 3Com works fine.

Has anyone else had similar problems, and found a fix?  If so, please
email to me at keng@hybrid.com.  My posting address is messed up to
discourage the spam spiders from grepping my address from the headers.

Thank You.
