I can install the kernel and filesystem ok, and when NetBSD boots up, it recognises that my network card is there, on ed2 as an 16-bit NE2000 compatible. The thing is, when I type ifconfig <blahblah>, and the try to ping anything, I get the response : ed2: device timeout The network card is a KE200 PnP ISA Jumperless adapter. I've tried disabling switching modes from PnP to Jumperless via a DOS based program that comes with the network card, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Can anyone help?
