Hi I'm having problems configuring my linksys PCMCIA ethernet card for 
installing FreeBSD.  I have a Toshiba Satellite 225CDS (100mhz pentium) 
laptop.  I have to boot from the floppy drive since I can only have one 
drive in at a time.  I'm currently running Windows NT on this laptop so I 
don't have the option for MS-DOS prompt installation from the CD.  The funny 
thing is, my laptop won't boot from the Walnut Creek distribution of 
FreeBSD, but it boots from the Windows NT CD.  Is there a reason for this?  
Anyways, on with my ethernet problem.  After I load from the floppy I choose 
the Visual Configuration mode.  It says that I have 8 conflicts.  After 
reading up on my Linksys card, I learned that it supports the ne2000 driver 
under Linux.  I deleted all other drivers for the ethernet card and was 
still left with the conflict between the ne2000 and the PC-Card.  This is 
where I get confused.  I changed the IRQ and I/O address for the ne2000.  
The conflicts were resolved.  After that I hit "Q" and exited the hardware 
setup.  The kernel starts probing my system and says "PC-Card found.  Use 
this media as installation method. etc?" I chose "Yes"  and the lights on 
the ethernet adapter light up and it links up to my DSL router.  I continue 
setting up drive partitions etc. and get the screen where it asks what kind 
of install I would like to preform.  I choose ftp behind firewall (my DSL 
router has a built in firewall) and hit "Enter."  It gives me the option of 
installing using SLIP, PPP, but no ethernet.  I get to this point and I'm 
dumbfounded.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
William Swank
