Resend - I think..... Hi guys, Working with a new laptop (A Sharp 9020) piece of crap really, but I thought I'd try installing 2.2.6-RELEASE on it anyway. I haven't used FreeBSD on a laptop yet, and was hoping for a little more support in the pcmcia dept. The card I need to configure is a standard 36589d (etherlink III) which the kernel supports (supposedly) But to no avail, enabling pccard didn't do a thing - do I need to make a pccard.conf entry? If so, what? After playing with the base install for awhile, I decided I needed the PAO... the file I dl'd was PAO-971211.tar.gz, meant for 2.2.5-RELEASE (will that be a prob?) I tried pkg_add (failed with "no +CONTENTS") then "gz -dc <file> | tar xvf -" and "make" (make failed with directory errors) I can't find any install documentation on the PAO site... any clues? Also, having problems with the machine's Cirrus Logic 754x vid adapter and XFree86... can't seem to get it to start without freezing (tried every config I could think of) I have no connectivity with the laptop so I can't copy in the dmesg... sorry. Hopefully I can get this done this weekend - thanks in advance Ian Field To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
