Hi, Just joined the list today, so sorry if this is the wrong place to post = this message, but it seemed like the one it should go in. Ok. I have a Laptop that i want to setup as a Wireless access point. I = have 2 PCMCIA slots in it and am going to use one for the wireless card = and the other for a network card (there is no inbuilt network port). The wireless card works fine, and i have no problems setting that up and = getting that to work, but as for the network card i can not get it to = work. It is an Alloy card, i am not sure of the chipset, but from my searches = on the net it seemes it is just a clone ne2000 card. When i insert it = into the laptop it says that the card is not found, and does nothing. Now the problem is that i need to use this card to install FreeBSD on = the laptop but it does not seem to load during the boot, even though all = the lights that are ment to come on, work. Here is a link to the card: http://www.alloy.com.au/products/6305m.htm If anyone can let me know if this is supported or if there is some = driver that i can load after i have booted of the floppy that would be = great. Some other information that you might want --=20 Installing FreeBSD 5.0 Doing an FTP Install Booting from the kern.flp and the mfsroot.fpl images . Thanks for any help -|- Hurgh -|- PS: Sorry about the last post if it gets through, i used the wrong email = address.
