Hi,
I have been trying to connect NetBSD 1.6 to the internet and have run
into a little trouble. So far I have done the following:
1) Located my card from the dmesg output ("ne3")
2) Created a file called "/etc/dhclient.conf" and added the lines
interface "ne3" {
}
3) Added the following to "/etc/rc.conf"
dhclient=YES
4) Supposedly at this point I will be able to type
/etc/rc.d/dhclient start
and be on my way.
However, that is not the case. When I reboot the computer I get the
following output from dmesg
....
ne3 at isapnp0 port 0x240/32 irq 5
ne3: NE2000 Ethernet
ne3: Ethernet address 00:80:c8:d4:21:08
isapnp0: No current device for tag, card 2
....
....
ne3: device timeout
ne3: device timeout
I've been told that this is an ISA PNP problem and that these problems
can be difficult to debug. Are there any first steps that I can try in
order to solve the problem?
Thanks,
Kevin
