I'm sorry I cannot give you advice about the timeout problem:(

But, at least you got this far. For me BSD is telling there is no such 
interface ed1 or ed0. I'm configured at 0x320 irq 5. Do you have any idea 
how I could tell BSD that I'm at 0x320 and not on 0x300. And why is it 
having a problem with ed0 or ed1. Why is it telling me that it found a 
TCP/IP compatible interface on lp0 and not on ed*? It is so 
confusing....Can
you or anyone else help me to get up and running, please....?

Sorry that  instead of helping you I just asked another question, but I'm 
also clueless as to what is going on. And at least I was happy to finbd 
someone who is also trying to configure an NE2000 for FreeBSD.:)
