I'm still quite new to FreeBSD, but I start to like that OS : It's hard to start with but it's very neat and powerful :-) I've installed a 4.2-RELEASE on my Asus L7300 laptop, dual-booting with Linux. I've recompiled my kernel, got the sound working great (took me 2 hours to finally be bright enough to have a look inside the MAKEDEV script to see I was supposed to do a "./MAKEDEV snd0" to get /dev/dsp and others...) but I still can't get my ethernet to work! It's a nuisance since xmms isn't on the CD-Rom even though lots of packages that depend on it are there... and without a network access, I can't easily build ports... First of all, the card IS NOT a CardBus card, it's a basic pccard 10/100 ethernet + modem 56. The IRQ used under Linux for the pccard/cardbus bridge is 9, and the ethernet uses 10. Both the modem and the ethernet work great under Linux (2.2 and 2.4-test even better ;-) OK, here are the symptoms : At boot time, the pccard/cardbus is found (pcipc0 and pcipc1 if I recall well) and the pccardd started. What I get is a message saying it can't find anything corresponding to "(null)"("(null)") in the pccard.conf file after displaying two messages "card inserted in slot 0" on the console. I really don't have a clue of what's happening. I suppose the problem is earlier than the pccard.conf file, so there's nothing much to do there (I tried "irq 10" and other stuff just in case...). I installed a 4.1.1-RELEASE on the same computer before, I never got that card working (I didn't try very long...), but the pccardd message was giving my card's full name (Xircom CreditCard etc.). Browsing the list archives, I found that "xe" support was broken in 4.0-RELEASE and fixed after, is it the case again? I suppose not, and that I'm the one doing something wrong :-( Any help, pointers etc. would be very very much appreciated.
