Just curious, but why didn't you go with FreeBSD 4.2? It supports a lot more laptop devices than 4.0 does? >> }2- my network card is Genius "PCMCIA" "10/100MB". how i can >> }identify it >> }under freebsd ? >> Look in /etc/pccard.conf to see if it's listed as a supported device. >> If you don't have an /etc/pccard.conf, then you need to copy it over >> from /usr/share/examples/etc/pccard.conf.sample Actually, under 4.x, the pccard.conf file was moved to /etc/defaults. You only need to create a /etc/pccard.conf if you want to override the settings in the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf file. So, look in your /etc/defaults/pccard.conf to see if your network card is in there. If not, you may have to get a different network card too. If you do end up getting a new network card, make sure it is a pccard (16bit) and not a cardbus (32bit) card. Cardbus is just now being added to current, and it is not available in 4.x-STABLE yet. Good luck.
