[This was sent to questions last week, but I got no reply there.
Maybe you hackers know the answer?]

Hi.  I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.3R on an IBM 560x laptop.  I'm
using a 32-bit 3Com Fast EtherLink XL 3C575-TX card.  On boot, I've
experimented with a bunch of PCMCIA IRQ options and got the little
light on the ether card's dongle to light green.  However, when I go
to "install over ftp", the only network options that appear are PPP
and SLIP.
 
What am I doing wrong?
 
I checked the hardware guide for support for this card, and I do see
"EtherLink XL", but not that exact model.  I googled for "3c575-tx
freebsd" and saw that in October 2000 someone made a patch for this
card, but I'm not sure if it made it in the tree.
