Hi. I'm installing FreeBSD 4.3 on a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop, and am having trouble getting sysintall and/or the kernel to see my ethernet card. The card I have is a supercheap generic iPort 10Mbps Ethernet Card, bought at CompUSA for $20. I was hoping to never have to defile this machine by booting under Windows, but I did in order to see if there were some setting that I was missing -- Bill says the IRQ is 10, and the address 0x300. Under the kernel config the pcic0 controller registers a confict, as do ALL the network adapters (set to IRQ 10). When I change the pcic0 controller's parameters to those of pcic1 (which doesn't conflict, 0x3e2 0xd4000), the conflict disappears but then sysinstall doesn't register any PCMCIA cards at all (duh?). When I remove all of the network adapters and don't mess with pcic0 at all, the machine hangs on boot after the line: plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 I suspect that I will have to just go out and buy a better ethernet card. If anyone has any ideas that might help me I would be grateful for anything you can provide.
