Hi list.

I have a laptop running FreeBSD 4.2 Release.  It has a 3Com Megahertz Model
3CCFE575BT 10/100 Base-TX PCMCIA which I bought a few weeks ago.

Windows of course sees the card, and I'm online there.  Redhat, and Debian
brands of Linux see the nic.  But FreeBSD doesn't not!

I am totally lost!!!

I did try to add to the kernel:

zp    #3com PCMCIA Etherlink III (I got this from "The Complete FreeBSD").

But conf said that zp was invalid.

I have searched long and hard for support--I have also searched for any info
about another pcmcia nic card that FreeBSD supports, but nothing--just that
obscure reference in that book that was invalid.  (I can return the 3Com,
but for what? Another pcmcia card that is not supported?)

Does anyone got any ideas?  I'd really like to get it working.
Doug.
