Has anyone been successful at getting FreeBSD 2.0.5 up on an Intel
EtherExpress (EXP16) card? I believe I have everything configured
properly, but FreeBSD doesn't seem to like the card. It works fine
with DOG/windoze. I got FreeBSD to work just fine on a 3c503 with a
similar setup but am having trouble with the Intel card.

FreeBSD finds the card when it probes, but that's about as far as it
goes.

I have disabled probing for mcd0 and mcd1 to solve irq/io conflicts. I
have the card configured (via the config diskette) for: io=300 irq=10
iomem=d0000 iosize=32k ROM=none (what FreeBSD expects for ix0 by
default).

If anyone has worked with a similar configuration I would appreciate
any help in getting this puppy up.

Thanks!
-Scott
