Hi all,

I'm having problems setting up a network.
I'm using a 3Com Etherlink II card.

I've compiled my kernel with the following
device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xdc000 vector edintr

This detects the card at boot up and reports
ed0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 5 maddr 0xdc000 msize 8192 on isa
ed0: address 02:60:8c:60:81:34, type 3c503 (8 bit)

So far so good..

/etc/sysconfig contains 
ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255"

The problem is I am getting a message
ed0: device timeout

What have I overlooked ?
