Howdy,
I'm trying to install 386BSD on a PC here at East Texas State
University using an Advanced Lan Product NE2000 compatible ethernet
board. The board configures properly and is found by the kernel as
ne0, but one the board is set with a proper address and marked as up
it outputs a lot of constant garbage to the screen. It seems that
whenever there is any network activity on the card, it will output
the string 'startart'. Has anyone experienced this problem? Will
I need a different card, to recompile the kernel, a patch, or any
thing else to fix this? Thanks much for any help.
BTW, please email your responses to wright@merlin.etsu.edu instead of
posting here as I don't normally read through this group thoroughly.
