For the PCMCIA ethernet card (a 3Com Etherlink III) I have two adapters: one for 10bT and one for 10b2 (also known as thinwire). I can use either one with NT by selecting the appropriate type in a configuration tool. Under FreeBSD I can't get the coax adapter to work at all. I've tried every combination of link0, link1 and link2 falgs to ifconfig -- no matter how I set them, 10bT works and the other doesn't. There's no "man zp". The source of the driver makes me think that "-link0" should have done the trick, but it didn't. I'd really like to get it working, because the 10bT adapter belongs to a different machine! _________________________________________________________ Matt Crawford crawdad@fnal.gov Fermilab PGP: D5 27 83 7A 25 25 7D FB 09 3C BA 33 71 C4 DA 6A
