I tried the amd64 version over a year ago (maybe 5.2 release?) and had loads of problems building ports. Since I use FreeBSD for my desktop machine, I depend on lots of them. It seems doubtful that all those ports now build without problems under amd64, but what do you think? - Steve K ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It only lets you reserve IRQs 3-15 (skipping a few) and these cards consistently show up on IRQ 17. I've run across that too, idiot bios code writers. Your only option is a fully pnp-aware card. The ne2000's generally wern't. If you must use ISA, a 3com 3c509b set into pnp mode with the dos configuration program would probably work. But your probably better off with a pci card. If the intel/pro isn't an option then try a cheapie Realtek 8029-based job (ne2000 clone) and see what happens. You can often find these in junk bins and such. If you want to wait for one I probably have one or two around here. Ted Thanks for the offer, but I'm sure I'll get it working one way or another. Plus, I only tried the ne2000 card out of desperation; I'd like to have at least 100Mbs between my two machines. I'll tell how it goes when I get some time to work on it again. - Steve K ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also tried swapping slots, but it always shows on the same IRQ. ACPI on/off doesn't matter. your bios on the motherboard doesen't like that card. try flashing the bios if possible with a newer version. 3. Slightly less cheap LinkSys LNE100TX, using dc0 driver: dmesg reports MII without PHY! error and ifconfig therefore doesn't see it. lots of hardware versions of that card, just for grins try booting fbsd 4.10 and see if it is recognized. driver issues galore. 4. ANCIENT 10BaseT card using ed0 driver: It's recongnized but gives kernel: ed0 device timeout errors. To get that to work you need to go into bios and change the resources to manually assigned then exclude the irq you have on that card from the pnp manager in the bios. even then, this may not work on all irq's. you may be a while at testing different ones. I would have tried that but the PnP config on my BIOS won't let me. It only lets you reserve IRQs 3-15 (skipping a few) and these cards consistently show up on IRQ 17. Jsut keep trying different pci nics. a intel etherexpress pro100 would be my next choice (fxp0) Ted Anyway, I'll try all of these suggestions and hopefully get it to work.

5.2.1-RELEASE ethernet troubles
I'm at wits end here trying to setup a new Athlon64 machine with the i386 release of 5.2.1-RELEASE. The problem is getting it to like a network card of some sort; I've tried and failed with 4 so far: 1. Motherboard built-in NVidia gigethernet (Ok, didn't expect that one to be supported) 2. Cheapo VT6105-based card using vr(4) driver: It's recongnized in ifconfig but I get the dreaded watchdog timeout errors. I can't seem to disable PnP in the BIOS per archive suggestions.

ANCIENT 10BaseT card using ed0 driver: It's recongnized but gives kernel: ed0 device timeout errors. (Sorry I can't include any dmesg output; I have no networking on the machine. However, it's an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ on an MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard.) So - do I have amazingly bad luck in choosing ethernet cards, or is something else going on? The suggestions I've found in the archives for cards 2 and 3 above didn't work. Any ideas at all about what I can do to get working?
