I had nightmares about my netgear card and FreeBSD. My first suggestion is to go out and get a nice supported card. I like the SMC cards; not dongles to break. Other suggestions: is the card registering at all? Try tailing /var/log/messages when you insert it. There should be a message. You might need to edit /etc/pccard.conf to get it to work. Hell, is pccardd runnning at all? Also, I think I had to set duplex manually on my netgear card to get it to work. Hope that helps... --Tim On Mon, 22 Apr 2002, Taro wrote: > I have a NetGear PCMCIA ethernet card (FA411) and FreeBSD 4.5.
