The zp driver has some problems with 3C589"C", the newest model of
PCMCIA Etherlink III.  Please test one of these installation floppies.

boot.flp of 2.2-960323-SNAP

	it has newest zp driver and it works with 3C589C

Bug-fixed version of 2.1.0-RELEASE installation floppy in
ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/zpfix/

	zp driver of this floppy works with 3C589C

PC-card aware floppy in
ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/pccard-flp/

	zp driver was replaced with new driver "nep"

... and after the installation, I recommend you to use our pccard
package.  It enables hotplug of PCMCIA cards and supports many cards.

Please read
