Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi everyone, I received a Hitachi VisionBook PRO from my employer yesterday. All excited, I downloaded the 2.2.7.1 boot floppy from freebsd.org and tried it out. Right before doing this, I booted into Windows and took note of the ethernet card: a "AMD PCNET family" card. I did a quick search of the mailing list archives and got wind that there has been limited success using this card with the Lance drivers (lnc). So, I booted the machine with the boot floppy and saw the following message: pci0:11: AND, device=0x2000, class=network (ethernet) int a irq 11 [no driver assigned] Grumble. It sees the hardware, but refuses to bind the lnc driver to it. My roomate has the same identical laptop running Redhat v4.2 with no problems -- it identifies the card as "PCNET/PCI-II 79C970A at 0xfcc0, assigned irq 11". This card appears to be kinda screwy, as it's identified as both "PCI & ISA" ("choose yer favorite bus!"). In some messages I've pulled up from the mailing list I've seen reference to both a lnc0 and lnc1 device; however, one can only configure lnc0 from from the Visual Configuration tool. So, my question is: has anyone had any sucess with this particular card and or laptop? I'd love to provide all the information I can if it'd help more, or please let me know if it's a lost cause. :) I'm not a hardware hacker but would be glad to help in anyway I can -- this is a very nice laptop otherwise. Thanks! -S -- Steve Bernacki, Jr. | steve@ziplink.net | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
