Date: 1 Feb 1996 05:55:54 GMT Organization: The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link, Sausalito, CA Lines: 25 Message-ID: <4epkla$44j@nkosi.well.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: well.com Summary: Looking for someone who knows why it's broken Keywords: PCMCIA, Ethernet, FreeBSD I am having problems with getting the PCMCIA Ether card I have working under FreeBSD on my hardware. I once ran across someone else successfully using my hardware/software configuration and before crawling down into the kernel to debug the problem, I thought I would check to see if anyone else has dealt with this problem. I have a NEC Versa P/75 notebook, running 2.1.0-RELEASE software and a 3Com 3C589C PCMCIA Ether card. The current drivers do not seem to see the card at boot, they might not even be seeing the PCMCIA driver chips (Intel chipset I think), it's hard to tell. If anyone has gotten this combination working, or has useful debugging info/advice please post here and/or email it too me. As long as I am posting about Laptops and PCMCIA, last summer I herd that there was a driver for one of the PCMCIA modem cards, can anyone tell me anything about this? Hey, three cheers for the FreeBSD team! Thanks folks! ||ugh Daniel General Systems Consultant hugh@toad.com
