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.
