Chris - Do you have your 600E working with a "PCMCIA" Ethernet card? If so, what steps did you go through to get it working? I basically installed 3.3-stable/then the PAO binaries/then the PAO sources. I since have been going thru kernel recompiles to try and get /dev/pcic0 recognized. Unfortunately, I have had no luck...that's when I saw that there were some earlier patches available for 2.2.7 to patch relavent source and header files. Did you patch 3.3 or was it an "out of box" situation? Sorry for the continued questions...I've done tons of Desktops with FreeBSD but this is my first laptop.
