Hi all, I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.2 to my laptop. I am using a 3Com 3CCFE575CT PCMCIA network card to do this install. I am having no joy :( When I boot from the disks, I am asked if I wish to use pccards for the installation. I say yes. It then asks me for a Memory address and I select default. It then asks me for an IRQ and I selected 10. It then says last chance to swap boot media for install media if I need it. I select ok, and it probes devices. If I then Alt-F2, I see a message saying: DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success) poccard: card inserted, slot 0 I then go into options and set DHCP to yes (default is no) I then tried to select 6 NFS as my media type under the options menu. It asks me for the full NFS specification for the remote host. I enter machinename:/mnt/cdrom It then asks for Network interface information and presents me with 3 options. lp0 sl0 ppp0 I don't see a network card as an option there. If I remove and re-insert the card, still no joy. Is what I want to do possible? I don't see this pcmcia card model on the supported hardware list, but it works under linux, so I was hoping :) Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
