On 2001-06-23, Greg Lehey scribbled: # Well, a number of the machines have 1400x1050 displays, which # obviously require different config files. That's the case for my T22, # for example. I personally couldn't afford that model :( nor did I really need that much horsepower (and a lap warmer) as the 850+ Mhz models. # This is presumably like my machine, which has a PCI chipset (Ethernet # connector on the back, not a removable card). This is different from # a PCCARD or CardBus controller (and, incidentally, much faster :-) <nod> It's a MiniPCI card (that is actually removable and runs at either 1/2 or full PCI speed versus the limited speed of CardBus). # Yes, I also have a full-height one with a proper RJ45 connector. It's # not nearly as fast as the on-board Ethernet, however. In a crunch, the Real Port (the full-height card) is really nice, but not the perfect solution for the ThinkPad T-series... for the i-series or the lower-end A-series, there really isn't an option for the built-in Ethernet. The A21 and later models now include that option. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
