I am, and have been for a year or two now, an owner of a beautiful IBM Thinkpad 600. Model 2645-51U. The 266 model, with 160 megs of ram. At any rate, I've gotten everything I've expected to work working right off the bat, no problem at all. Only two issues have come up; One, sound... I've seen pages of information about people being able to get sb emulation working on it, as far as devices go, just by adding, say; device snd0 device sb0 device sbxvi0 device sbmidi0 To the kernel... No such luck on 4.0. As far as I've found, it bitches incredibly even if I want to compile a kernel with the snd0 device. So, all thought put aside, I set it to PCM sound, using; device pcm And a few more devices, trying all of css, because it IS a Crystal chipset, and with this I've tryed both PnP configuration and assigning the settings statically. No luck. Well, at that point, I got sick of it, so I just tossed out the idea of getting sound working. It was frustrating me. Now, the second problem, my NIC, a LinkSys Etherexpress 10/100 PCMCIA card... It works fine, however, I noticed before that it loads settings for the network from rc.network in /etc and pccard_ether so I made changes to rc.conf appropriatly... Upon rebooting, I noticed that rc.network loaded BEFORE pccardd or pccard_ether. Obviously, this won't work very well, as the PCMCIA NIC can't be located before pccardd is loaded... Completely derived of sleep at this point, I gave up for the night, everything working but sound and internet connectivity via gateway. Any help to be offered would be really appreciated. =) Thanks in advance!! Edward L.
