Hi,

I'm looking at buying a new PCMCIA ethernet card for my notebook running
FreeBSD 3.2 - specifically the 3Com Megahertz 3CCE589ET.

This is a type 2 card (not Cardbus), based on the older 3C589 Etherlink
III. The 3C589 is listed in the FreeBSD 3.2 docs as supported; does this
cover the new Megahertz cards too?

The PAO package lists a similar card, the 3CXE589ET, as being supported,
but it uses one of those horrid X-Jack connectors instead of the
traditional small cable between PCMCIA card and RJ-45. :(

Anyone had experience with the 3CCE589ET? Specifically interested in any
horror stories, whether you used the generic kernel or PAO, and/or how many
hoops you had to jump through to get it working.

TIA,


Nick.
