Hi, everyone.

  I installed FreeBSD2.1.0R on our PC with 4 network cards.
Two of them were on PCI bus, with chip set of Am79c970.
System couldn't detect them automatically, so I set up their ports &
irqs by hands as follows:
         port     irq
  lnc0   0xff80   10
  lnc1   0xff40   14
Then, they were detected successfully, but I got the following
message:

  lnc1: Initialisation failed

and lnc1 wouldn't work. I changed irq and tried again, but got the
same result.
 Is this irq-confliction problem? if not, what's wrong?

The other two cards (on ISA) are set as:
         port   irq
  fe0   0x240   11
  fe1   0x260   15
and both are working well.
lnc0 also has no problem.

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
