Which 3Com 3C574TX? I have the 3CCFE574B-TX, which has a non-Cardbus and a
(reportedly) Cardbus version. My version works under FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE
and 5.0-CURRENT. I don't know about 3.x, though.

It isn't possible to give more than one NIC the same IP (as far as I know),
but it IS possible to give a card more than one IP.

Here's my pccard.conf's defaults:

io      0x240-0x360
irq     9 10
memory  0xd4000 96k

Your config line matches mine. The "?" is to enable polling mode (IIANM).

Be careful about the irq line. pccardd can't know prior what IRQs are in
use (don't ask me why), so you have to manipulate it to get it to pick the
right IRQ. The above two seem generally available on laptops.

pccard_ifconfig="DHCP"

which is mine. Use the above if you use DHCP, or use it for setting up
static IP's and routes.

No.

Please search the mailing list archives next time you ask questions similar
to these two (and for the answer to DE-660). Only if you find sufficiently
outdated information (say, six months or more) and nothing newer, should
you ask the mailing list for help.
