Very Computer

I need some "$Subject". I'm installing NetBSD 1.1 on a Pentium P5-133
(Gateway 2000) with 16 bit Intel EtherExpress. The install guide
doesn't say whether netbsd supports it, but I presumed it does since
it's a fairly standard card. So, first I tried to boot it without
changing any settings, and of course it didn't see the card. Then I
used a dos utility softset.exe designed for those cards, and dos sees
the card just fine, and I could even set irq, io port and iomem.
Unfortunately, netbsd doesn't see the iomem settings that I set from
dos. To give an example, the install guide suggests to set

name  port  irq    iomem
ed0   0x280  2    0xd0000.

I set port and iomem to those values (wouldn't let me set irq to 2),
but netbsd complains that
ed0 kernel configured iomem 0xd0000 != board configured 0xfffff.

Same thing happens if I set io port to 0x250 (netbsd complains about
ed1). If I set it as ie0, netbsd doesn't seem to see it at all (all it
says is "ie0: unknown AT&T board type", but I think it says that with
any card).

Any suggestions will be appreciated. I need to get it to work as soon
as possible.

Thanks.
Boris.

a) Etherexpress is not the same as Etherexpress PRO, and not the same
   as the EISA Etherexpress version whose official name I forgot.

b) the Etherexpress driver is called "ie", I think. It is NOT "ed".

c) for the ISA Etherexpress PRO/10, wait 'til NetBSD-1.2
