Hello, I'm kinda new to BSD (just got the stuff today) but have worked with SCO and Redhat before to some extent...so I'm not an idiot, just a newbie. I'm trying to get a Digital HiNote VP laptop notebook with a 3COM EtherLink III (model number 3c589c) PCMCIA card to work. The card is not identifed by the installation and the only error message I get on startup is: Initial rc.i386 initialization: linuxep0: No irq?! pccardd[42] driver allocation failed for 3COM Corporation(3c589): Device not configured pccardd[42]: pccarddd started I'd gladly give ep0 and IRQ if I knew where to configure it! AND I'd configure the 3c589 device if I knew what to do. The card and the rest of the computer works fine under a "different" OS, so I know it's not a hardware error. What *should* be my next step in a) figuring out the problem b) getting this ethernet card to work on this laptop. I guess a and b are kinda the same.... If someone could steer me in the right direction...better yet, just tell me what to do.
