First, sorry for the long mail ;-)
I liked to do a net-install of FreeBSD 4.5 release on my laptop using my
Longshine LCS-8538TX PCMCIA NIC, which is NE2000-compatible.
First, the install floppy paniced :-(
I got that solved using the advice given in the 4.4 release notes under
pccard support... wonder why this advice was removed with the 4.5 release,
since it still applies. ;-)
Anyway, my PCMCIA-controller got detected allright (it's a TI-1225, which is
supported), but my card wasn't... :(
So I did a minimal install from a local FAT-partition, so I could start
messing about a bit ;-)
I got the card to work by adding the following entry to /etc/pccard.conf
# Longshine LCS-8538TX
card "Dual Speed" "10/100 Port Attached PC Card"
config auto "ed" ?
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
This works, and gives me the following output when I plug in the card:
Feb 6 16:22:17 pccardd[146]: pccardd started
Feb 6 16:22:20 /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1
Feb 6 16:22:26 pccardd[146]: Card "Dual Speed"("10/100 Port Attached PC
Card") [1.0] [ ] matched "Dual Speed" ("10/100 Port Attached PC Card")
[(null)] [(null)]
Feb 6 16:22:31 /kernel: ed1 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 11 slot 1 on pccard1
Feb 6 16:22:31 /kernel: ed1: address 01:d4:ff:03:00:20, type NE2000 (16
bit)
Feb 6 16:22:31 pccardd[146]: ed1: Dual Speed (10/100 Port Attached PC
Card) inserted.
The only problem is that the mac-address given isn't the correct one (which
is printed on the card, and is also given by windows and linux)
So I probably just have to add an 'ether 0x???' line to my pccard.conf file,
though is there a way I can find the offset I'm looking for? Like maybe I
could dump the card's memory and search for the correct address in it? If
that's possible, how do I do it?
I tested network connectivity, hardwiring the correct mac-address, and
everything works fine. But hardwiring is the 'dirty' way, and I'd like to
use the 'clean' way, if possible ;-)
And another question: My current installation is a bit messed up (my fault
:p), so once I got this all to work properly, I'd like to do a fresh
install. Is it possible to customize the mfsroot.flp floppy so that my new
pccard.conf file is in there, and so I could do a net install? If so, how do
I do this?
Thanks very much!

Oh, and if it may be helpful, here's my dmesg:
And you'll probably notice that pccardd isn't started automatically. I did
that on purpose so that I could still boot if I totally screwed up my config
(since I read somewhere that a wrong pccard.conf can cause a system hang...
;-))
