I've recently acquired an old Toshiba 430CDT laptop (pentium 120, !32mb ram, 1.2gb hdd) with 16-bit pcmcia slots. I've loaded FreeBSD 6.1 on it !and bought a wireless card (Netgear MA301) . However, after putting in the !card, I realized that FreeBSD did not even see the slots (nothing in dmesg). !I've tried googling and searching through the mailing list archives but I !couldn't really find any similar situations. I'd post a dmesg for you guys !but the machine has no network connectivity and says nothing about pcmcia/pc !cards anyways. Please let me know if you have a solution or a tip. I would !love to have a laptop running FreeBSD, now matter how old. Thanks! I'm not expert on the matter, but I did once own that vintage Toshiba notebooks (Satellite 220, 330) running pre-5 releases. The 330 is now owned by a friend who is running a 4.x release on it and uses 16-bit PCCARDs without problem. Perhaps you might give 4.11-RELEASE a try on that old Toshiba, or have a look at the OLDCARD kernel of 5.5-RELEASE. -- Dr Gary E RAFE: drgerlists at gmail dot com
