1) In softset.exe, you must set the Memory address to 0xcc000,0xd0000,   
0xd4000, or 0xd8000.

2) The address range MUST be have a 32K buffer size, a 16K buffer won't   
work. Softset is bad about defaulting or changing the buffer size to 16K   
when the address range is changed.

3) Make sure you run the diagnostices in softset.exe.  If the diagnostics   
fail, some times you must exit softset.exe and turn off the computer to   
let the hardware reset.  Then run softset.exe again and try the   
diagnostics.  If the diagnostics passes everything try booting netbsd, if   
not try a different configuration.

4) Don't worry about putting a iomem address in you config file, the   
Exp16 autodetect routine probs for this information.  So "ie0     at isa?   
port 0x360 irq 5" will save you some time.

You seem to be on the right track, I would go after the buffer size, this   
has caused me the most grief.  As a matter of fact, I rewrote some of the   
exp16 detection code to report to me when I have my buffers set to 16K   
instead of 32K.

Subject:  EtherExpress 16 card - HELP!!



I just installed NetBSD 1.1 and I want to use
the Intel EtherExpress 16 card that I have.

I configured the kernel with
 ie0     at isa? port 0x360 iomem 0xd0000 irq 5

I configured the card to correspond.

At boot-time, only an error message appears:
 ie0: unknown AT&T board type code 15


What am I doing wrong??


Also, the 8-bit wd8003 card that I am using keeps
giving me errors:  warning: ring buffer overflow

Any clues?


Thanks
Dave
