Twice Date: Tue, 12 Mar 1996 16:52:15 +1200 Organization: National Institute of Water and Atmosphere Ltd. Lines: 24 Message-ID: <314502FF.3450@niwa.cri.nz> NNTP-Posting-Host: 161.65.68.140 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) Help, I have (or had) an SMC8013T nework card I installed NetBSD 1.1 the other day from floppies and all seemed to go OK. I noticed it was not connecting to the network so I checked the network card settings to see if they were the right ones to work with NetBSD. I altered them to the correct settings for the card with ezsetup. upon boot up NetBSD proceeded to tell me that my IRQ was wrong the the network was not loaded. I rebooted and this time it didn't even find it. So I booted to DOS and ran the SMC configuration program ezsetup.exe which proceeded to tell me that I had no cards installed. I tried the card on another machine and still no luck. So I tried another card and exactly the same thing happened. HOW do I get my network cards back up and running !!!!!! Has NetBSD the ability to scramble my cards !!!! The cards will not work for a dos machine now and since the configration is stuffed I can't use them!!!! Its really pissing me off !!!! IF you have an answer or a suggestion email me at a.robertson@niwa.cri.nz Andy.
