Hey all, I'm trying to get on the 5.3 bandwagon with my Toshiba Tecra 8100 after using 4.x on it for years (all same hardware). The only problem I have is that my ethernet card is not seen. It's a 3com 3c589c, which under 4.x worked right out of the gate with the ep driver. Now when I try to start pccardd manually I get the "fatal error: no PC-CARD slots" message in /var/log/messages. ifconfig -a gets me a list of plip and lo interfaces only. The only thing I could find online was a thread saying there was a bug: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugbusters/2004-December/000070.html. Is this still the case? It just seems hard to believe that I can't use a pcmcia card (I will try to find another one to test with, but this one has worked under 4.x FBSD, 3 Linux distros and 3 windoze versions). ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with science. --Carl Sagan http://www.projectcensored.org/publications/2005/index.html ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
