FWIW, I've got it set up using the parameters in the HARDWARE.TXT file (which agree with the ones in the install program). The card is brand new (I bought it for this purpose), and hasn't been set up under any other system before. The FreeBSD default parameters agree with what the Etherlink manual says they should be. Don't have a DOS/Windows system with PCMCIA (or without, for that matter), so I can't try it on there first but it seems like it should work. I've tried it in both PCMCIA slots and it seems to see a card in the appropriate slot, but doesn't recognize it at a zp0. Tried it with all non-essential devices disabled, and with all enabled, and reasonable permutations between. Gotten into the Emergency shell, and looked for it with ifconfig too, just to be sure (though if the kernel doesn't acknowledge it, ifconfig sure as hell isn't gonna see it....) BTW, I don't know what the netiquette of this particular list is, so please advise if I should take this discussion offline from hackers@freebsd.org. If it's annoying, blame Jordan. He convinced me to give FreeBSD a try at Usenix ;-) --Tom
