Hello all,

I am trying to do a net install of FreeBSD onto an old laptop (no cdrom).
I have an NE2K compatible PCMCIA NIC which Linux can successfully use, but
which no *BSD can.

I figure the problem is essentially one of recognizing this particular
card as NE2K compatible since other NE2K PCMCIA ethernet cards are
supported.

I was hoping to be able to cat some info out of Linux /proc to give enough
information for the FreeBSD developers to recognize the card so that I can
install FreeBSD in the future.

So, here goes:

`cardctl ident 1`:

Socket 1:
  product info: "PCMCIA LAN", "Ethernet", "A", "004743118001"
  function: 6 (network)

/proc/bus/pccard/01/exca:

82 7f 90 6b 00 08 41 02 00 03 1f 03 00 00 01 00
d0 00 d0 80 30 7f 01 00 d1 00 d1 00 2f 7f 80 f8
