I have a Thinkpad 770e (PII 266) with one of the Linksys PCMPC100 cards. It does work well in FreeBSD 4.10-stable. Do realize that you won't be able to realize true 100MB performance from one of these 16bit cards. While we're on the subject though, I can't get anything to work in 5.2.1. I continually get these watchdog timeout errors, be it a Cardbus card, or a 16bit card like the Linksys. I'm planning on tossing -current on it this weekend to see if the problem has already been solved there. If anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate them. Thank You, Cody Baker cody@spintime.org 330.934.0659 Gary Kline wrote: >On Wed, Jul 28, 2004 at 10:01:26AM +0400, Victor Bratsev wrote: > > >>You should look at HARDWARE.txt for devices that work with freebsd or ask >>about specific device, maybe somebody is using it. >> >>I've got TP600E with Xircom RE-100 (with some unresolved issues) under 4.7-R >>and 4.10-R >> >> >> > > (Can you describe what your "unresolved issues" are?)... . > > Good points.
