But... The pccard refuses to work. As usual, the pccard did work ok in windows95 so I know that the 3COM589D actually works. The pccard controller chip is a TI 1131. And the kernel reports it during boot. But later in boot, reports that "/dev/card0 Not configured". I have browsed 'all' the newsgrops articles since 1996 in this matter, but no solution so far. I have the PAO-kit installed and configured. The kernel tries to start the pccard but complains on the /dev/card0 device. It's there allright, I double checked and also did run MAKEDEV on the requested devices. I also ftp'ed home the PAO boot floppy, but still a complaint about the /dev/card0. I the desperation and despair of beeing without a network connection to my latop, I also installed Linux Redhat 5.0, and the linux kernel actually fires up the card, I can see on the tp-led that the card is started. ( Or at least have power. ) After the 'linux check', I reinstalled the FreeBSD, but with the same result as earlier. Even with the PAO boot floppy. So now I'm out of ideas and my last resort is this mail. If anyone have any ideas, pls mail me. Regards Install 2.2.6-R and configure a new kernel with "config PCCARD", "make" and "make install" in the directory config(8) tells you. The configuration TI 1131 (PCI to PCMCIA/CardBus bridge) and 3c589D should work out of the box with 2.2.6-RELEASE. Note that the 3c589D combo card (with BNC and RJ-45) defaults to RJ-45 and you have to use the correct "link" parameters in the ifconfig(8) command, e.g. set it in your /etc/pccard.conf as: # 3Com Etherlink III 3C589D card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D" config 0x1 "ep0" 11 insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted # BNC: insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 -link0 link1 # RJ-45: # insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 link0 -link1 remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete Hope it helps you out. matthias -- firm: matthias.apitz@sisis.de [voc:+49 89 61308 351, fax: +49 89 61308 188] priv: guru@thias.muc.de WWW: http://www.sisis.de/~guru/ "We don't care.
