--=-KG5Sm1LqsszWli1Vl7EG Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Joerg, on my Thinkpad 600 I have the same troubles when using an IBM Etherjet 10/100-Cardbus-Card (xl-driver). The problems began with FreeBSD 5.3. FreeBSD 5.2.1 worked fine. I switched back to FBSD 4.11 and now I use my old D-Link PCMCIA-Card and everything works fine. Sorry that I cannot help you Regards J=C3=BCrgen Am Freitag, den 07.10.2005, 01:24 +0200 schrieb Joerg Pernfuss: > Hi, >=20 > I recently decided to buy a 32bit cardbus nic for my ThinkPad 600 > and while doing this, updated to FreeBSD6.
