I've been installing 4.1-R on a lot of laptops, since this code was SO much better than the old one on pre4, so I thought it would run like a charm :) I use to set it to 0xd4000 for memory and IRQ 11. Has worked with a buncg of different laptops, old Toshiba, IBM 770E, Dell Latitude and others, but not so this time. Maybe I just have to get all the parts of 4.2-RELEASE, and give it a try. > I would recommend trying to use 4.2-R or even better a more recent > snapshot of 4.2-STABLE. > > You could try installing 4.2-R using > > ftp://ftp.se.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.2-RELEASE/ Sorry, I'm behind a firewall, but I'll try the floppies to see if the card is properly detected.
