After getting my MacCon network card working great in MacOS 7, I went on to tackle other OS's.
I have an installation of NetBSD 1.3.3 that boots and seemed stable back before I got the ethernet card working. Now that I have the card working, it kernel panics after a bit.
Q1: Does anyone know the best way to go debugging this? My thought was to remove the ethernet card in various ways (first unplug the ethernet cord, then try w/ no card at all).
Q2: Is there a better version of NetBSD to be using? 1.3.3 was one I picked by its release date and after going through a few READMEs and INSTALLs.
Q3: Before I got the first kernel panic, when I was using the local console, I'd get pretty regular "ae0: receive buffer overflow" or similar messages. Obviously this seems like a problem - how could I prevent it? I suspect that it's probably happening when MacOS is running, but it just doesn't report it. (ae0 is the ethernet card device)
Thanks y'all!
