Hi, 
just installed FreeBSD 2.2 snap and have the following problem:
the Intel EthernetExpress doesn't work! The card has the following
configuration:
 I/O x300, IRQ 10, mem x8000, mapping area/size xd0000
The card is correctly recognised at boot, but doesn't work. I 
installed Solarisx86 2.4 to check the card, worked fine...

anyway, info that may be of use in helping me, with exact addresses,
etc, removed :-):

# ifconfig ix0
ix0: flags=803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
	inet uuu.xxx.yy.zz netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast uuu.xxx.yy.255
	ether 00:aa:00:27:ca:62 
# ifconfig ix0 up

Has anyone a tip?

Many thanks in advance, even if it doesn't help, Les
