I hate to be a pest about this, but I still can't get the 3c509 to
work under FreeBSD 2.0-950412-SNAP. I ifconfig'd it right, but the 10-baseT
hub never shows the port as being active. Is the 3c509 supposed to work? Is
anyone using one with twisted pair? The kernel bootup messages show that it's
detected at 0x300/irq10 (I had to boot to DOS to reconfigure, which I don't
have to do for Linux).
Here's what I did:
ifconfig ep0 168.121.253.90 netmask 0xffffff00
The various routing commands aren't shown because they don't seem relevant
yet. What am I missing? I'd very much like to use FreeBSD instead of Linux
on this machine, but the NIC is a rather important piece of functionality.
Please help,
