Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 13:21:24 -0700 From: Dan Yergeau Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I suspect that you probably have the V2 variant of the PCMPC100 (or, perhaps, the PCM100). If so, then the card should be recognized if you create /etc/pccard.conf with the contents being a slightly altered (see below) version of the PCMPC100 or PCM100 entry from /etc/defaults/pccard.conf. #Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2) card "Linksys" "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)" # config 0x3 "ed0" ? config auto "ed0" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete With dynamically loaded pccard interfaces, you don't do dhcp_enable="YES" Instead, put the following in /etc/rc.conf pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" Of course, that assumes that you want to use DHCP to get your network configuration. Since you were imprecise as to the exact version of FreeBSD that you are running, I will mention that you need 4.1-RELEASE or later (the ed driver under 4.0 doesn't properly recognize the V2 variant as being "type Linksys"). If everything goes OK, you should see something similar to the following at boot (and/or in /var/log/messages). pccardd[49]: Card "Linksys"("EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)") [V2.0] [ ] matched "Linksys" ("EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)") [(null)] [(null)] /kernel: ed1 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 9 slot 1 on pccard1 /kernel: ed1: address 00:e0:98:80:15:df, type Linksys (16 bit) dhclient: New IP Address(ed1): 192.168.42.10 dhclient: New Subnet Mask (ed1): 255.255.255.0 dhclient: New Broadcast Address(ed1): 192.168.42.0 dhclient: New Routers: 192.168.42.42 Dan >I have a compaq presario 1625 and a linksys 10/100 PCMCIA card.
