The light is not suppossed to blink tho, when i boot windows the light simply burns to indicate link and that is al it does. When i boot freebsd the light goes on and it does recieve a DHCP link. But after that all network communication fails. If not yet found a solution to it. But i was thinking that it might be because the pcmcia-controller from toshiba (laptop is a tecra 700CT) is not supported?
