The NE1000 doesn't work with 386BSD; the driver is for NE2000 only. Even with this, the default IRQ for NE2000 clones is 3, whereas 386BSD defaults to 2/9. I have run with a couple different NE2000 clones quite successfully. Just switch it to IRQ 2, and you're flying. NE2000 clones can be had for $80 (less if you shop hard); why not upgrade to a 16-bit card? Andy Valencia Disclaimer: this article reflects only my personal opinions, not those of my employer.
