X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 15:22:35 -0000 Probably something really simple, but although my internal 802.11 card works fine I can't get the internal 3Com 3c905C-TX ethernet card to accept an address, either from ifconfig or dhclient. I'm sure it actually works because when I built FreeBSD 5.1R on this machine I used it to connect via NFS to another machine with the iso disk since the firewire driver can't map memory for my external cd (different unresolved problem). Anyway, after getting 5.1R up I configured wi0 and forgot about xl0 until I went on a trip. Even though ifconfig seems to show the card as being recognized and active (when plugged in) dhclient "hangs" and I never get an address. Any suggestions?
