The PCMPC100 is a Linksys PCMCIA network interface card. I did not try installing via FTP via that specific card, however, since I had a CD available. But I do recall /stand/sysinstall noting that it had detected a PCMCIA card and asking me if I wanted to provide the program with the properties necessary to use it. I did not explore this path in detail, but assume that these properties are the properties one would acquire either by reading the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf (/etc/pccard.conf in earlier releases of FreeBSD) file, or by dumping the properties of a working PCMCIA NIC with the pccardc(8) utility. I believe that if you can determine your PCMPC100's configuration while it is operating (this is probably possible under DOS-derived OSes, also, with the caveat that the card's chosen values under DOS may not be the same as those used under FreeBSD or other *NIXes) that this would give you the values you needed in order to use your PCMCIA NIC during installation. I may be wrong. (-: But I'd read the manual pages for pccardd(8), pccardc(8) and pccard.conf(5), get acquainted with the terminology associated with the configuration of a PCMCIA card, and then try again, hopefully with some notes relating to the properties used by that model of card, under FreeBSD. Perhaps someone would care to cut-and-paste the entry for this card from /etc/../pccards.conf? If not, I can do this, or it can perhaps be found at http://www.freebsd.org ...? -- richard Yungbo Liu wrote: > Hi, everyone, > > I tried to install FreeBSD via FTP but failed.
