Wong) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: PCMCIA & ethernet? Date: Sun, 25 Jun 1995 15:13:21 -0800 Organization: InterAccess, Chicago's best Internet Service Provider Lines: 14 Message-ID: <clintdw-2506951513210001@nb-dyna24.interaccess.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: nb-dyna24.interaccess.com A long time ago (on the order of a few months), I was reading that there was a Linux extension that KINDA handled PCMCIA with ethernet cards. But with FreeBSD 2.0.5, is this built in? Does it work with all laptops with PCMCIA? Is there a PCMCIA ethernet card that is particularly good (or bad) to use with FreeBSD? And is it stable... or still very beta? Other than using PCMCIA ethernet, I was thinking of the BCC Avanti with built in Novell NE2000.... but I'm trying to go the PCMCIA route because it would be cheaper and more modular. :-) Thanks, Clint
