Christian Peter Gruendemann stated: : : Hi, : : Today, I tried to install Freebsd 4.0 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro : 4360 notebook with a pcmcia : NetGear FA410 network card. I didn't manage it, and I think the network : card is not supported by FreeBSD 4.0 Release? The Netgear networkcard is : also not mentioned in the handbook. So, The card won't work, right? : : Does anybody know which pcmcia network card will work which the Toshiba : notebook? : : Furthermore, is the Soundsystem (Yamaha YMF744B-R Chip) supported? : : Thanks in advance : Christian- This card should work in later editions of FreeBSD after 4.0-RELEASE. It was badly broken in 4.0-RELEASE (and STABLE up until June). YOu would do better to install from either 4.1-RELEASE or snapshot of -STABLE (see: ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ for the most recent one). Support for the Yamaha chip was added shortly before 4.1-RELEASE, so a more recent STABLE snapshot outght to give you some noise... I haven't been able to get the Yamaha to play nice with the Linux realplay yet (I believe there are patches in the works ... fingers firmly crossed :), but you should be able to play music cd's and waveplay and maybe xmms (not 100% sure on this). Hope this helps, S PS. You have to be fairly mindful of IRQs when doing the install over the network. Take a good look at your Win9x Device Manager for unused IRQs. -- 1--------01---------01--------01--------01--------01--------01--------0 Sean O'Connell sean@stat.Duke.EDU To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
