[-- Attachment #1 --] I recently compiled my own kernel for my ThinkPad 755 CX. I am using (trying to use) a 3C589D card to access the network. When I use kernel.GENERIC to boot, I have access to the network on zp0. When I boot with my kernel, card and socket services are found, and ep0 is loaded (very late in the boot sequence, after ifconfig tries to configure it), but I cannot use the network. I have used ifconfig to configure zp0 and ep0 with the network information. When booting with my custom kernel, ep0 is located and returns "ep0: utp/bnc[*UTP*] address 00:60:08:8a:c7:85" but it doesn’t pick up the ip information from rc.conf. Ifconfig –a returns "ep0: flags=8802<BROADCAST, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:60:08:8a:c7:85", but no ip information. Doing an ifconfig to assign an ip address and netmask after I am logged in does not help. Is there any way to force pcic and the PCMCIA card drivers to be loaded earlier in the boot sequence? Would this help? Recompiling the kernel is not a problem if necessary. Any ideas? Robert R.
