This was just discussed on freebsd-hackers. If you do a search on dejanews like ~g mailing.freebsd.* pcmcia ethernet you'll get a lot of hits. I've been using a 3com 3c589 and it works reliably, but the performance is pretty poor on a 486 dx2/50. I haven't gotten more than 500Kb/s on any OS, though FreeBSD did do better than Win*. I suspect that most 10/100 cards are a waste of money without Cardbus because the ISA-like PCMCIA interface just won't be fast enough. -castor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
