Hi all,

I have a 3COM Etherlink III card,  in an ISA 16bit bus.  The installation
and configuration program that comes with the card tells me it's setup as
follows:

   Ethernet address:		0020AF45B75A
   Adapter type:		TP
   Date of Manufacture:	10/18/94
   Division code:		1
   Product code:		MA
   Soft... failure level		0
   Soft... warn level		0
   I/O base address:		300H
   Interrupt request level:	10
   Boot PROM size:		disabled
   Transceiver type:		external
   Net. driver opt:		DOS client
   Max int. disable time:	500 microseconds


When I boot FreeBSD 2.0R it goes through the motions of detecting
and probing,  but bypasses ep0 saying something along the lines of
ep0 not detected at 300...

Help!

Thanks,

Mark
