However, it does have something to do with getting my Orinoco Gold PC Card operational and this forum is as good as any to try. Here's the scenario: When I attempted to install FreeBSD 4.9R on my old ThinkPad laptop, the install program loaded a generic PC controller and then my wireless NIC was good to go. There was a video limitation so I scrapped loading the full OS with X on the ThinkPad. That being said, I also had the Gold PC Card running in my mini-tower at one time (under WinNT) via a PC controller card that I had to get from the manufacturer. I guess this controller card is proprietary or something. When I booted from the 4.9R install floppies the system never prompted me to use PCMCIA as the install medium as it did with the laptop. No PCMCIA controller = no Gold card... Do any of you know how/where I can get docs/info to get this PC controller up so I can get the Gold card running? Thanks in advance for the assist, Pat B.
