Sorry to break it to you man. I have a Xircom 10-100TX +56K Modem Cardbus card and it is also 32 bit cardbus. At this time FreeBSD does not support it according to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/article.html FreeBSD currently supports 16-bit PCMCIA cards, but not 32-bit (``CardBus'') cards. A database of supported cards is in the file /etc/defaults/pccard.conf. Look through it, and preferably buy cards listed there. A friend of mine is sending me a Netgear 410TX PCMCIA card which is 16bit and in the supported list of cards. Currently Netgear Shop is selling them on Ebay for 24.95 plus 9 dollar shipping at http://www.netgear.com/ebay_auctions.html Thomas B On Wed, 27 Mar 2002, Eric B .
