If you need to change anything you should replicate the entry into /etc/pccard.conf. That said, there shouldn't be anything you need to add for a 3c589, the work out of the box for me. > What is meant by changing them to 'media foo' options? A reference to the method being used possibly being out of date and in future the code may benifit from the change. Nothing you should care about. > 2) How do I -get rid of- the lp0 interface which I mistakenly added in > /stand/sysinstall, thinking it was 'loopback'? Add an interface with sysinstall ? I have no idea what you mean. If you want to get rid of a device you either disable it in a config boot (boot with -c and type 'vis' at the config command line to get the visual device editor you may have used at install time), stop a module being loaded if the device is being added by a module or comment it out of a kernel config and build a new kernel. All these should be documented in the handbook or other online docs. > 3) Why do my routing tables (as viewed with netstat -nr) steadfastly > refuse to be populated with the right stuff? Because you don't have an interface that can reach the "right stuff" ? A route should not be added if you cannot route packets to the destination. Set up an interface and then worry about routes. Basic network configuration should also be in the online docs, the problem is you may be trying to configure things before the pcmcia network interface is brought up, which won't work.
