-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just acquired a Linksys NE2000 compatible PCMCIA ethernet card, because I saw that it was on the PAO "supported cards" list. I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 with it, off of a Windows 95 FTP server (it has the CD-ROM's contents copied onto it). I grabbed the latest PAO boot disk for 2.2.5 and popped it in. Everything seemed to go ok (the PCMCIA controller was properly detected, etc.) but when the machine went out to initialize the cards, I get the following error: Slot 0: "Linksys(Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T))" Unsupported card - From searching around in the mailing list archives, it seems that Linksys decided to change the ID string on some of their cards, and it seems that I have one of these "new" cards. Lucky me. So, I guess, my question is this: IS there a 2.2.5 PAO disk that is set up to recognize this new ID string for the Linksys card? Or is there a way that I can modify my PAO boot floppy to add in this new string? It probably doesn't matter, but just in case, my machine is a Toshiba Satellite 105CS (P75, 40 MB RAM, 810 MB HD, *NO*CDROM* (which is why I need the ethernet card to install). The model of my Linksys card is EC2T. I'd really like to get this going before the new school semester starts, so that I can have a working machine to use in my computer classes. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! orted card So, I guess, my question is this: IS there a 2.2.5 PAO disk that is set up to recognize this new ID string for the Linksys card?
