I was 1 of those 2 people who received extensive off-line guidance and help from Sean on getting the FA410 to work. We were not succesfull. At first it was simple basic stuff like making sure to recompile w/ pccard support etc.. After which the ep0 driver worked great w/ the 3COM 589 series of cards at 10Mbps. However the ed0 driver we never were able to get going w/ the 2 models of 10/100 cards we had, the FA410TX and the D-Link 660. Granted the D-Link 660 is a 32 bit Cardbus, but I did get help back from a couple of folks who claimed it should work as a 16bit PCMCIA 10/100. We are now content w/ the 3Com cards and ep0 at 10Mbps. --P To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
