I am having trouble getting NetBSD 1.3 to recognize an Intel
Etherexpress PRO/10+ on my system (486/33/8M).
First, and according to the INSTALL file, I set the board's port to
0x360. For the IRQ, INSTALL said "any"; I set it to 10. In this case,
when booting the install floppy, the device probe did not find iy0.
Then I went back and set the board IRQ to 7. This time, the probe
found it but said it expected IRQ 10. I went on and configured the
interface and it misbehaved in the way I would expect for a mismatched
IRQ level (ie. can send echo requests but not get replies, ARP entry
shows up OK on other nodes, etc.)
I checked the mailing list archives over the past few months and found
a few references to this or that Etherexpress variant being supported
now, but nothing very specifically on the PRO/10+ (what's the "+"?).
Maybe I did not grep hard enough.
If anyone can help me make this work, I would appreciate it.
