hi-
i've been running FreeBSD 2.2.8 on my toshiba portege for awhile now. it
was very easy to install. i just booted from the standard floppy and did
an FTP install. it had no problem finding my 3Com Megahertz 10bT PCMCIA
NIC, even though i wasn't using the PAO boot floppy.
when i recently went to install FreeBSD 4.0 on the same machine, with
identical hardware, i tried to do it the same way - normal boot disk, FTP
install. but the installer didn't see my network card.
it's really annoying that something that worked perfectly in 2.2.8 would
not work in 4.0.
