Go to www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO and get the patches(or new boot disk) for your laptop. I just installed 2.2.1 with the standard boot...added the patches and it works great on my Thinkpad with a 3-com ethernet PCMCIA card. If you need any help don't hesitate ask!

I have already loaded it onto a couple of machines, and know my way around it pretty well. I saw that freebsd had support for the 3C985 (I think that's the number) PCMCIA Network card. I am using a similar (still by 3Com) card, and I have access to the listed card as well. My problem: The last time I tried doing this, I could never get it to work, and I think I screwed up my computer as well. My computer is functional now, but... Here is my question: Does freebsd have built-in pcic drivers (drivers for the pcmcia controller as well as for the card), and has anybody out there loaded freebsd (from scratch) over a pcmcia network card with any sucess? Thanks, Sam Scruggs
