Now i have this shiny new HP Omnibook 6000 on my desk - but the built in ethernet/56k-Modem card is not detected in 4.0-Release (which i installed for test purposes). W2000 says, the (56k modem and) network adaptor is an "3Com 10/100 Mini PCI" adaptor, the driver details say something about an "EL556...exe" file. On the 3Com website i found a 3Com/Megahertz PCMCICA adaptor which matches the description. It is obviously attached to the PCI bus, the kernel boot messages show an unknown PCI device with vendor id=0x10b7 and dev=0x6055. Is it possible that a PCMCICA chip attaches to the PCI bus ? I've grepped through the tree and found something in the "ep" driver in the pccard code which matches vendor and device id and the code supports a 3Com 3C556 card (or chip). Might it be possible to write just a PCI wrapper for the code in "ep" ? Are any more infos available about this chip somewhere ? Is there already someone working on something like this ? If not, i'll sit down and try to get the ep driver working with this hardware; any helpful hints and/or suggestions are highly appreciated ;-) hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 55 97 47-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 55 97 47-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de D-22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
