Date: 27 Jan 1995 17:02:49 -0500 Organization: University of South Carolina - Columbia - Computer Science Lines: 23 Message-ID: <3gbqi9$13r@pine.cs.scarolina.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pine.cs.scarolina.edu I'm running NetBSD 1.0 on a pentium PCI machine and I recently installed a 3com 3c509B - combo Ethernet card. When I boot up the machine, I get an error: ep0: 3c509 is in test mode - erase pencil mark ep0: at isa port 0200 ------- irq 10: aui/bnc/utp then later: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface So the card is being recognized apparently. I looked at the configure utility and have updated all the files I saw there - mainly added a hostname.ep0 file and ran MAKEDEV. The problem seems to be that there is no ep0 driver in /dev. The BSD FAQ says that the 3c509 is supported, so what am I doing wrong? I'm attempting to connect to a thinwire ethernet system (is that bnc or utp?). Thanks in advance for any help.
