FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #2: Sun Apr 11 00:33:11 CDT 1999     :/usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL  i386
>Description:
I have 2 Linksys Etherfast NIC's, PCI PNP.
I have edited my kernel and added the necessary PNP support, it seems to
show these two cards as pn1/pn0 on bootup, but after each it says "cannot map ports".
I have a cable modem on one NIC, and the other is to my LAN. I want to use
my machine as a gateway for my network, at the current moment, my network
is 'offline'. I'd like to get FreeBSD working, but first I need the NIC's working.
I've been at this for about 2 weeks, and cannot find any documentation.
ANY help is EXTREMELY appriciated, with anything to do with cable modem setup
under FreeBSD 3.1 or getting this two network cards working. Thanks.

State-Changed-Why:  

This PR is totally worthless. You did not say what kind of machine you 
have, nor did yousay if either of these cards have ever worked in it 
before with any other OS. 

PCI devices have nothing to do with PNP. Stop playing with it. A lot 
of people hear that PCI devices are 'plug and play' and assume this 
has something to do with ISA PNP cards. This is not the case: ISA PNC 
cards are completely different devices. Put the term 'PNP' out of your 
mind: it has nothing to do with your problem. 

PCI bus 10/100 ethernet cards are all bus master devices. This means 
they must be installed in PCI bus master slots. We have no wayt of 
knowing whether you put them in bus master slots or not since you 
didn't give us any information about your machine For all we know 
your machine may have only one bus master slot, or maybe even noen 
at all. 

You didn't say if you tried only one card at a time or if you tried 
putting the cards in different slots. You didn't tell us what kind 
of hardware you have. All you said was "it's broken; fix it." I refuse 
to accept such kinds of reports since I have had to deal with more than 
enough of them already. Consequently, this PR is being closed. When 
you figure out how to file a proper bug report, you can open another 
one.
