I've also used an IBM Etherjet which took some resource fiddling to get to work, but then worked fine. Each laptop is at least subtly different. Some NICs experience resource conflicts with the rest of the PCI bus and take a little work. I think it depends on the laptop more than the NIC. Check out the hardware list on the CD. Good luck - JB PS: check out the freebsd-mobile list for laptop-specific stuff. # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
