How should it ? I thought the roadmap look like : 1)boot kernel(with some drivers hard-wired in it) and setup programm=20 from diskette 2)check for hardware 3)choose media 4)Install everything from this media(among other things = /etc/pccard_ether) OI see a '/etc/pccard_ether: not found' in your dmesg output: are you = sure that file and anything it might reference actually do exist? I wouldn't be so sure there's nothing lurking on IRQ 5, either. The = laptop=20 I'm typing this on (a ThinkPad 380D) has audio hardware that likes to = sit there without telling you about it -- caused no end of problems with = the Xircom driver before I discovered this. You might want to drop DHCP and configure the thing by hand until you = know it's working. One less variable to worry about. I thought that DHCP as autoconfiguration tool and development BOOTP WAS actually invented as mean of taking trouble of manual configuration from you. If the cat does not catch mice it is thrown out.So what = should this fuss with DHCP option on-stratup mean ? PS I surely installed system from CD-R now. But you know after 2 years = with FreeBSD I have occasionally compared my actual installation on notebook with installation of Debian on the same notebook.Comparision is not in favour of FreeBSD=20 Hope that helps, Scott --=20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet = engines" scott.mitchell@mail.com | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
