Greetings all, I am having difficulty installing FreeBSD 4.1-release to an older laptop, an HP Omnibook 600C. The autoprobe seems to find everything, including the PCMCIA hard drive, with one exception: no matter what hardware settings I choose, the installer cannot find my PCMCIA ethernet card, a Linksys EC2T (an NE2000 compatible). I have heard of BSD on such a laptop before, though, and the card is explicitly mentioned as being supported in the hardware FAQ. I suppose I could link up PLIP, but that kinda defeats the purpose of putting BSD on the laptop, which was to act as a small server. Any clues here? Please reply directly to my address, nfoster@foxboro.com . Thank you, nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
