Hi Guys,

In a new server configuration for BSDI 3.0, I'm having a problem getting my
Intel EtherExpress Pro10+ Pnp ethernet card working with the following:

   - Intel P166 (No Pipeline burst)
   - 72 MB Memory (72 PIN)
   - Western Digital 3 GB HD IDE
   - VGA Wonder piece o' crap Card :)

I've recompiled the kernel several times with the specified parameters --
Tried several irq's (5, 7, 9, 10) and ports (0x220, 0x260, 0x300, 0x330,
etc.).  I even tried disabling the PnP on the card and altering the PnP
BIOS to reflect the IRQ was being used by "Legacy ISA"... I've done about
everything I could to get this card to work under BSDI, but still no go. I
have set up several other BSDI servers with almost the exact same
configuration (except the others didn't have the plug 'n play version of
the EtherExpress Pro) and they all work fine. Has anyone else had problems
doing the above?

Any information would be appreciated!
