Summary: Problems installing SMC 8013 card on NetBSD
Keywords: HELP

I've just installed NetBSD on my compaq deskpro and now I'm trying to 
get my ethernet card to work...

It's a SMC 8013WC of the "Elite" series.
I have it set at:
Base I/O - 280
     IRQ - 2
Ram Addr - D0000
     ROM - D8000

According to the install_notes this is supposed to work.

The messages I'm getting when I boot the unix machine...

ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 9 maddr 0xd0000-0xd1fff
ed0 address 00:00:c0:f1:79:83, type unknown (8-bit)

When I try to configure the card according to the install notes:
I type:
# ifconfig ed0 my_address

and get:
# ed0: device timeout

The card is 16-bit and set at irq 2.  So I don't know why I get the 8-bit
or irq 9 message.


I would greatly appreciate any information as to how I can get this card
working.
