Although : 386bsd recognizes the card as we0 (and correctly displays our ethernet : address), I can't send or receive any frames with it. Everytime I have another : computer send a frame to 386bsd, 386bsd says 'reject 65531'. Looking at the I had the same problem! If you run the MS-DOS diagnose program I am sure you will see that it will fail the ram test. You need to change the base address of the card to be something that will pass the ram test. I use DC000 but your milage may vary. Give it a try. -darryl darryl@sai.com
