(see http://www.networking.ibm.com/tra/trspec700.html#34L1401 ) It is NOT a CardBus card. How do I find out which chipset is inside, without destroying the card? (Do I have to install _Linux_ to figure that out?) Hmm, according to document no. FQ3387E on IBM's networking support site (http://www.networking.ibm.com/support/), this card has a Tropic chip set. They reference the Linux TokenRing Project, http://www.linuxtr.net/ . Does this help? The card (and the ThinkPad X20) I use are my employers, so I can't damage it. Also, the only place I have access to Token Ring are at work. But, I would very much like to have this working, it would be sooo nice to run FreeBSD at work instead of Linux... -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
