For what it's worth, I'm running -CURRENT with a cardbus Xircom (RBEM56G-100) in a dell latitude CSx, and once I built a NEWCARD kernel, it "Just Worked".. at least as far as the ethernet interface goes... Didn't even have to hard set an IRQ. I haven't tried the modem yet (I remember something about a patch to sio.c being needed, but I'm not quite there yet ...) I installed from a january snapshot I had burned to CD, then built the NEWCARD kernel (and later cvsupped up to date, rebuilt everything, etc...) It *sure* would be nifty to have "NEWCARD" and "GENERIC" kern.flp images available (would a new mfsroot also be required? I don't think so..) so that one could do net installs w/a laptop, where often you're stuck with floppy *or* CD but not both at once.. -Matt On Thu, 29 Mar 2001 16:01:40 -0500 (EST) Viren R.Shah <Viren R.Shah <viren@cigital.com>> wrote: > >>>>> "Scott" == Scott Mitchell <scott.mitchell@mail.com> writes: > > > Scott> This is a 16-bit RealPort we're dealing with, right?
