It's perhaps worth making a distinction between the two different sorts of PCCARD support in the kernel : - there are some drivers (zp etc.) that recognise PCCARD devices. - there are some drivers (ed, sio, etc.) that can be told to look at a PCCARD. The latter class require the FreeBSD equivalent of "Card Services", ie. the 'pcic' and 'crd' drivers in the kernel, 'pccardd' and the card database in /etc. These aren't available on the normal boot floppy for space reasons. I fixed the 'ed' driver to support NE2000-style pccards a while back, but I don't know if this change has been reflected in the latest PAO boot floppy. At any rate, you're still stuck unless the particular card you have is registered in the database. What card do you have? > Greg -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
