I'm running a FreeBSD 5-CURRENT snapshot from Dec. 5, and trying to
configure an AmbiCom Cardbus ethernet card (a DEC Tulip base). I've
included cardbus, pccbb, miibus, and dc in my kernel, and enabled use of
DHCP. Since I haven't tracked -current since 4.x split off from it, I had
a great deal of FM to R before I realized things like there's a file called
/boot/device.hints that's very important. Putting
hint.dc.0.at="isa"
hint.dc.0.port="0x300"
hint.dc.0.irq="10"
into /boot/device.hints made the "watchdog timeout" errors I had been
getting on boot go away, but the card still didn't work. Do I need to
specify drq or maddr, and how would I determine if 0x300 is the right
port? This may be due to the fact that it looks like my graphics card and
my ethernet card are both assigned IRQ 11 (see clip from dmesg below). But
I really have no idea how to use device.hints or even how to set up an
ethernet card under FreeBSD (I know, I should have picked something other
than cardbus on -current for my first experience), so any help would be
appreciated. Thanks!
