Thanks yet again. > > Phillip Smith > Anomaly@bga.com From examining the configuration files on my system in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf, it would seem that the EtherExpress 16 uses the same driver as the StarLAN and the 3C507. The INSTALL file shows these requiring the following configuration: AT&T StarLAN 10, EN100, or StarLAN Fiber, or 3COM 3c507 Ethernet boards ie0 0x360 7 iomem 0xd0000 in other words, set the IOADDR to 0x360, the interrupt to 7, and the I/O memory buffer to 0xd0000. I'm using a 3COM 3C507 in my sytem comfigured this way, but I don't have an EtherExpress to try, so I'm not sure if this is exactly right. At least it's something to try. --Douglas Mandell
