Okay, I know I am being silly, and this is in the FAQ, etc but I
cannot get it to work.  I have a dell 486D/50 (ISA slots) with a
3Com 3C503 configured to use IRQ 5, IO mem 280, mem d8000, which I
believe to be correct for the default kernel with FreeBSD 2.0.

I cannot get this to work with the AUI port, using any of the flags listed below:
llc0 - specified in FreeBSD 1.0 instructions
altphys - specified in FreeBSD 2.0 instructions
link1 - specified in the online manuals at cdrom.com
In most cases, the error message is ed0: device timeout, which should
indicate IRQ clashes but I've been through all of that and we are 
not getting them.

I must admit, I am not sure if the BNC port is working either - we
are not equipped for this at the moment.

Any ideas ?  Many thanks,
Steve
