Hello,
  I need help setting up a 3COM 905XL ethernet card to work with FreeBSD
2.1.5.  I believe that I have to use ep0.  It is configured for port
0x300 net irq 10.  When the machine boots in dos, and I run the install
software that came with the card, it says that the card is on irq 11
even though I told the BIOS to put it on irq 10 (plug and play is
disabled).  The Kernel expects it on irq 10.  What can I do?  I have
PD440FX motherboard with a Pentium II.  Do I have to jumper something on
the motherboard?  The card itself has no jumpers.  Can I just switch the
device to use irq 11 in the kernel? Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks.

Regards,

Juan Lorenzana
