docs for 3Com 3C515-TX NIC?
Anyone have detailed docs for 3Com's 3C515 NIC? I found Guy Helmer's driver, http://www.freebsd.org/~ghelmer/3c515/ but it didn't recognize the card I have. I was going to spend some time this weekend to see if I could figure out what was up. Just thought it might be easier if I had a little light reading material that described how the chip on it was supposed to work. :) Thanks. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Did you configure the card using the configuration "pnp" commands before the kernel starts booting? For example, config pnp 1 0 irq0 9 port0 0x360 enable os did the trick for me on a 3.2 system. When I did an install of FreeBSD 3.2 on a machine with a 3C515, I was pleasantly surprised when sysinstall captured this config command and wrote it to the kernel.conf file for future boots. Anyway, the card is mostly the same as the Vortex (if_vx.c driver) but with some ports changed. Sorry, I don't happen to have tech docs for the card.
