It supports the 7543. Its $99, you can easly waste a lot more than $99 of your time trying to get XFree86 working (I have). I am just a customer, not connection to the company, although I do think its important to support companies that support FreeBSD. www.xinside.com Mark From owner-freebsd-mobile Wed Mar 19 09:53:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA11024 for mobile-outgoing; Wed, 19 Mar 1997 09:53:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from mserv1.dl.ac.uk (root@mserv1.dl.ac.uk [148.79.160.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA11013 for ; Wed, 19 Mar 1997 09:53:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from dlsm.dl.ac.uk by mserv1.dl.ac.uk with SMTP id RAA17462 (8.6.13/5.3[ref postmaster@dl.ac.uk] for dl.ac.uk from rbr@dlsm.dl.ac.uk); Wed, 19 Mar 1997 17:53:25 GMT Received: by dlsm.dl.ac.uk (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA02621; Wed, 19 Mar 97 17:53:16 GMT From: rbr@dlsm.dl.ac.uk (Rob Bradshaw) Message-Id: <9703191753.AA02621@dlsm.dl.ac.uk> Subject: 3Com589c Feature maybe?

I installed using ftp, so the ethernet card is working, but I'm not convinced that it is configured correctly. (I'm still running the GENERIC kernel; I haven't rebuilt anything.) % netstat -in zp0 1500 00a024aee8fa 501870 0 155 0 0 zp0 1500 148.79 148.79.160.235 501870 0 155 0 0 tun0* 1500 0 0 0 0 0 sl0* 552 0 0 0 0 0 lo0 16384 124 0 0 0 0 lo0 16384 127 127.0.0.1 124 0 0 0 0 % ifconfig -a zp0: flags=1843 mtu 1500 inet 148.79.160.235 netmask )xffff0000 broadcast 148.79.255.255 ether 00a024aee8fa tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 The inet and ether information is all correct, but why does it think zp0 is a and ifconfig shows rather than ? The 3C589c is multicast capable with FreeBSD surely? % netstat -rn Internet: default 148.79.1.1 UGSc 0 0 zp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH lo0 148.79 link#1 UC 148.79.1.1 "mac address" UHLW zp0 148.79.x.y "mac address" UHLW zp0 148.79.x.y "mac address" UHLW zp0 148.79.x.y "mac address" UHLW zp0 148.79.160.235 00a024aee8fa UHLW zp0 Again, this seems to show that it thinks zp0 is a special sort of interface, as it has the MAC address of every system on the local ethernet which it has talked to (well except those which have timed out presumably). The arp table shows the same IP <=> MAC address table. Looking at /etc/sysconfig, the zp and lo interfaces are configured with: ifconfig_zp0="inet 148.79.160.235 netmask 255.255.0.0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" and lower down: pccard_ifconfig="NO" so there is no mention of simplex and links there. And the ifconfig man page has no mention of simplex, and seems to correlate link to SLIP characteristics. I've searched the FAQ and the newsgroup for some insight into this, but not really found anything. There is a mention of "If the pccard has PlugandPlay then disable it; my 3C589 experts claims there is no such optional facility. Any thoughts on this problem would be most welcome. Perhaps this should be included in the FAQ?
