Once I corrected the situation of having another device on the same IRQ as the ethernet pc-card, then things started working. Of course you're running different code than I am, but was just wondering if that message might be due to the same symptom of an IRQ conflict? I don't know which Toshiba notebook you have Mike, but if it's anything like mine, IRQ 11 is dedicated as the "PCI" interrupt, and has about 3-4 things hung on it - Infrared ports, USB ports, and, hey(?) Win95 assigns the "Toshiba ToPIC97 CardBus Controller"s to IRQ 11 also (the 3C589D gets to use IRQ 10, the only free IRQ, in both W95 and FreeBSD). Don't know if any of this will help the two of you resolve how to automatically assign things, but thought I'd pass it along just in case... Gary
