Martin" <mmartin@olympus.ece.jhu.edu> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: FreeBSD and 3com 3c589 Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 16:13:24 -0400 Organization: MicroElectronincs Laboratory / JHU - ECE Lines: 29 Message-ID: <31BF24E4.BA9@olympus.ece.jhu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: 128.220.14.46 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (Win95; I) I have a AST Ascentia J30 laptop that I have installed FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP. I also have a 3com 3c589C ethernet PCMCIA card. I have not been able to get the 3c589 to work under FreeBSD. I have rebuilt my kernel with the zp0 driver. However, the card is not detected when the kernel starts up. Has anyone gotten this combination to work?? I am not sure, but I suspect the problem lies in the PCI-PCMCIA bridge not being supported. I have also tried the boot floppy with PCMCIA card support from the folks doing the pccard work Japan. When I boot from this folppy I get "/dev/card" not found. Has anyone gotten this to work?? Any replies would be apprciated. Thanks Mark ============================================================================ Mark N.
