Hi,

I've been trying to install NetBSD on my computer and I'm having a few
problems with getting access to the network.

I can install the kernel and filesystem ok, and when NetBSD boots up,
it recognises that my network card is there, on ed2 as an 16-bit
NE2000 compatible. The thing is, when I type ifconfig <blahblah>, and
the try to ping anything, I get the response :

  ed2: device timeout

The network card is a KE200 PnP ISA Jumperless adapter. I've tried
disabling switching modes from PnP to Jumperless via a DOS based
program that comes with the network card, but it doesn't seem to make
any difference.

Can anyone help?
