Ditto here unfortunately.  We have a few that work fine including some 
ancient original Novell cards and a couple of software configurables.  
They all work correctly under ipx and Novell but not all of them seem to 
work with FreeBSD.  It just so happens that the two I own don't. :(

And yes, I am POSITIVE that the settings are correct.  Everything is 
recognized correctly by the kernel as well but it still gives the device 
timeout a short while later....  *sigh*

Comments and suggestions welcome.
