Is there any reason you sent this to the list four times? Don't do
that if you want people to help.
My 3Com EtherLink III 3C589D-Combo works just dandy,
pccardd[44]: Card "3Com Corporation"("3C589D") matched "3Com Corporation" ("3C589D")
ep0: <3Com Etherlink III 3C589> at port 0x240-0x24f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0
The card is in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf,
# 3Com Etherlink III 3C589D
card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D"
config 0x1 "ep0" ?
# config auto "ep0" ?
insert logger -t pccard:$device -s 3Com Etherlink III inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
remove logger -t pccard:$device -s 3Com Etherlink III removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete
But I have a custom entry in /etc/pccard.conf so that it uses the BNC
port rather than the 10BaseT.
# 3Com Etherlink III 3C589D
card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D"
config 0x1 "ep0" ?
insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 media 10base2/BNC
remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete
I don't remember why I did it that way rather then just put the media
option in 'pccard_ifconfig' in rc.conf.
Other than that, I just put ep0 in my kernel config, and it works
fine.
Now my Xircom CreditCard Ethernet... That is a different story.
