(whatever I wanted within the range 0x200 - 0x3a0). Umm, that's the port setting. There are 3 settings you need to know. The port, the IRQ, and the IOMEM setting. However, I can't remember if 3COM's utility calls it that. However, you can set the first 2 using the utility, but you can't set the third. You can only read the third setting by using the 'look at the card' settings. It should look something like 0xDE00 or something like that. This means you would set the iomem setting in FreeBSD to 0xde000 (note the extra zero), since the 3COM device writes the value in segment format. :) > I assume it "just worked" for you (and/or others who've tried it). Once it's configured correctly it does. When we get PC-CARD support in the system, tested, and debugged it'll be much easier, but until that time this is a hack to get it working. (I've been working on PC-CARD stuff the last couple weeks, and started getting code in the tree yesterday). Nate
