I've installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my notebook (very aged computer - P200MMX, but I still like it). I would like to have the Ethernet card installed and the only option I have is to choose one of a few of PCMCIAs (I have no other Ethernet card support on board). I've read the hardware notes and I've found no equipment corresponding to the cards I saw at one of local merchant stores. My option would be PCMCIA D- link DFE-670TXD preferrably (the price, it's D-Link). I've looked over the vendor's site and found no FreeBSD support either (typical :) ). Do you have any suggestions what I should do, maybe where to look for some useful information? I've looked over the vendor's site and found no FreeBSD support either (typical :) ). Maybe some of you guys are having other hardware compatible to the cards listed in the 'hardware.txt' models, which are working just fine? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance,
