Hi. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.3R on an IBM 560x laptop. I'm using a 32-bit 3Com Fast EtherLink XL 3C575-TX card. On boot, I've experimented with a bunch of PCMCIA IRQ options and got the little light on the ether card's dongle to light green. However, when I go to "install over ftp", the only network options that appear are PPP and SLIP. What am I doing wrong? I checked the hardware guide for support for this card, and I do see "EtherLink XL", but not that exact model. I googled for "3c575-tx freebsd" and saw that in October 2000 someone made a patch for this card, but I'm not sure if it made it in the tree. http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=%5BCardBus%5D+3COM+3C575-TX+CardBus+Ethernet+Card.&list=163 thanks, david p.s.: please reply to me as well, as i'm not subscribed to this list.
