I'm installing NetBSD 1.1 on a Pentium P5-133 (Gateway 2000) with 16 bit Intel EtherExpress. The install guide doesn't say whether netbsd supports it, but I presumed it does since it's a fairly standard card. So, first I tried to boot it without changing any settings, and of course it didn't see the card. Then I used a dos utility softset.exe designed for those cards, and dos sees the card just fine, and I could even set irq, io port and iomem. Unfortunately, netbsd doesn't see the iomem settings that I set from dos. To give an example, the install guide suggests to set name port irq iomem ed0 0x280 2 0xd0000. I set port and iomem to those values (wouldn't let me set irq to 2), but netbsd complains that ed0 kernel configured iomem 0xd0000 != board configured 0xfffff. Same thing happens if I set io port to 0x250 (netbsd complains about ed1). If I set it as ie0, netbsd doesn't seem to see it at all (all it says is "ie0: unknown AT&T board type", but I think it says that with any card). Any suggestions will be appreciated. I need to get it to work as soon as possible. Thanks. Boris.
