I am trying to install FreeBSD 3.3 (PAO) on my DELL Latitude XPi over a network. The problem is that the kernel cannot seem to be able to find my card. The card is a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet IIps. In the Win98 that came on the HDD, the Ethernet card occupies IRQ 10 and I/O 0x110 and the PCMCIA slot is IRQ 15, I/O 0x3E0, and the range is 0D0000. Unfortunately, although I have this info, you can't configure the ex0 device in the kernel setup. I have two cards in the notebook, the Xircom and a Megahertz Modem XJ4336. I've swapped the cards and the modem is found when plugged into either slot, so I think the kernel negotiates the PCMCIA fine. What do I need to do to be able to use this Ethernet card during the install? Or am I doing something wrong. Other than the two cards, I think it's a fairly straight forward DELL Latitude with integrated sound and IR port sucking up IRQs, but there should be enough for both cards. Kinda frustrating. I was trying to do the install using a parallel port PPP setup between my notebook and tower last night to no avail. I figured once I got my Ethernet card it would be a breeze... Well... *sigh* Any help appreciated. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
