Hi there,

I searched the archives for this, but that didn't give me any good answer...

It seems that NetBSD 1.6.1 finds the same NIC twice at boot:

# dmesg | grep ^ep[01]
ep0 at isa0 port 0x210-0x21f irq 9: 3Com 3C509 Ethernet
ep0: address 00:50:da:36:fe:68, 8KB byte-wide FIFO, 5:3 Rx:Tx split
ep0: 10baseT (default 10baseT)
ep1 at isapnp0 port 0x220/16 irq 3
ep1: 3Com 3C509B EtherLink III
ep1: address 00:50:da:36:fe:68, 8KB byte-wide FIFO, 5:3 Rx:Tx split
ep1: 10baseT (default 10baseT)

This can probably be resolved by disabling PNP on the NIC (thanks to 
Onno for pointing this out to me). Anyway, is this normal behaviour, or 
have I hit a buglet?

System: Compaq Deskpro 2000 P120 (I know: yuck!)

I just started exploring NetBSD yesterday and this is my first post to 
this list, so please be kind... :o)
