Hi,
here's my configuration :
OS             : FreeBSD 5.2.1
MotherBoard    : ASUS P4S8R (Pundit) Chipset SiS651/962
Net1           : 3Com 3C920B-EM-WNM Integrated ethernet
Net2           : Xircom EtherII (over PCMCIA)

and now my trouble :

-----------------------------------------------------
1 - Integrated Ethernet 3Com 3C920B-EM-WNM
     not attached.
I've tried to setup my integrated ethernet
(Net1 above) but fails because i think
that the module if_xl doesn't have the good PCI_Id for
this one (0x9202). If you edit source
/usr/src/sys/pci/if_xlreg.h (header for if_xl)
you've got the PCI-Id :
TC_DEVICEID_TORNADO_10_100BT_920B = 0x9201
corresponding to the 3C920B-EM
but no one for the PCI-Id 0x9202
corresponding to the 3C920B-EM-WNM.
I think it's the reason i have the message :
pci2: <network, ethernet> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
* QUESTIONS :
Q1 : Are my conclusions correct ?
Q2 : How to change that ?

-----------------------------------------------------
2 - PCMCIA Ethernet Xircom activated but ...
So, because i need internet, i have plugged my
Xircom PCMCIA card (Net2 above) on the PCMCIA slot.
And..., it work (telnet session Ok with other workstation)
But, Kernel return these values :
dc0: <Xircom X3201 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1000-0x107f ...
although i have set these parms in device.hints :
hint.sn.0.port="0Xfe80"   (false)
hint.sn.0.irq="16"        (good)
* QUESTIONS :
Q3 : why the kernel return a different port ?
Q4 : is the if_sn driver the good one (PCMCIA purpose)
-----------------------------------------------------

and the last question (simple i think) :
Q5 : why when i setup a load="YES" for a module
(in loader.conf) Kernel say that it is already loaded ?

Thank for you help, i'm a newbies on unix like system,
working on it since one week (nights too !),
Every comment will be nice, but i'm not expert
(i don't know usage of gcc, but i'm C/C++ programmer).

B.R. to all and thanks for your help, my server must
run at 1st sept. with Apache 1.3 (already conf. !)
