Got a question and a related problem...

For my new notebook I need a 10/100 PCMCIA Ethernet card. The only
acceptable thing the local store has is a 3Com 3CCFE574BT (non CardBus).
Checking the archives, I found that the card basically should work fine
with FreeBSD 4.0R. But in the end of January there was some discussion
about problems with this card when resuming after a suspend to disk.
However, I couldn't find out whether this problem still exists in 4.0R
or not. Does anybody know?



The related problem is that I wanted to do a quick test with my 3Com
3C589D. This card works just fine on a out-of-the-box FreeBSD 3.3R setup
using the zp driver. No problems at all on both an TI Extensa 620 and a
Dell Inspiron 3700 notebook.  However, I simply can't figure out how to
get it to work under FreeBSD 4.0R.

When booting 4.0R pccardd says "ep0: No irq?!" and thereafter when
disabling and reenabling the card or ejecting and reinserting it,
pccardd complains "ep0: No I/O space?!

I've already spent a whole day playing with /etc/pccard.conf, with the
settings on the card itself, with pccardc..., but all to no avail. Am I
misunderstanding something, doing something the wrong way or is there a
problem? Will I have the same 'experience' with the 3CCFE574BT card?

If I can't network my notebooks, they are useless and at least on the
Dell I'll definitely need FreeBSD 4.0R, rather than 3.x, so any pointers
will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Kurt
