I just installed RC3 on my laptop, and I wasnīt able to use my 3Com PCMCIA 3C589C card during install?? Hmm this couldnīt be true, so I tried booting the floppies again, and this I actually read the text, and it really doesnīt make much sense :) *<headline>Please select IRQs that can be used by PC-cards</headline> *Please specify an IRQs that CANNOT be used by PC-card for example, if you have a *soundcard that can't be probed by this installation floppy and it uses IRQ 10, you *have to choose "Option 1" or "Option 2" at this menu. * *Default IRQ 10, 11 *Option 1 IRQ 5, 11 (ex. soundcard on IRQ 10) *Option 2 IRQ 11 (ex. something on IRQ 5 and 10) Is it just me, or does the headline and description say the exact opposite of each other? Now, I got my card working by choosing Option 1, but Im not really sure why, as you can see below, my card uses IRQ 3 for some odd reason. Why doesnīt my PCMCIA card automatically use a higher free IRQ? (IRQ 3 is used by my serial ports AFAIK) IRQ 3 isnīt even mentioned in the Options above (only 5, 10 and 11) *This is how it shows itself after install, when enabling PCCARD: *ep0: <3Com Etherlink III 3C589> at port 0x240-0x24f irq 3 slot 1 on pccard1 *ep0: Ethernet address 00:a0:24:60:02:36 *ep0: supplying EUI64: 00:a0:24:ff:fe:60:02:36 *ep0: unload *stray irq 3 What is EUI64 BTW? And BTW; what does this mean? (DAD???): *ep0: starting DAD for fe80:0009::02a0:24ff:fe60:0236 *ep0: DAD complete for fe80:0009::02a0:24ff:fe60:0236 - no duplicates found ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\/\orten $eeberg, Systems Consultant @ Merkantildata - Enterprise Solutions #echo 'System Administrators suck :)' > /dev/console To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
