The name suggests that it might be an 8013-compatible. Alternatively, it might be an SMC9000-compatible, for which there is an ISA driver (with no pccard support). > This is not necessarily the end of the world since other ether cards exist. > What I would like are suggestions as to which PC Card ether adaptors work > well with freebsd. I would prefer a 10/100 card, but that is not a > requirement. I generally recommend NE2000 clones; the Accton EN2216 is a good example, there are plenty of others. Check the mailing list archive for the -mobile list (where this sort of thing is asked about twice a week) for more suggestions. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
