Basically, this is what I did: booted off disk, ran through prompts nothing happened, no ethernet card detected. downloaded fixit floppy, tried to edit pccard.conf with vi, but vi ( and more ) crashes ( even with vi -F blah.file ). run pccardc dumpcis and it showed that my pcmcia card was detected at slot 1 ran pccardc ( syntax might be a little off ) pccardc enable 1 ed0 -m 2000 d4000 16 -i 9 -p 0x280 FBSD replies ( driver not configured or something like that ). ran a bunch more times with same result... Essentially, I am forced to install off the network because i have no cdrom, and, i don't have enough disk space ( nor do I want to ) install off a dos partition. Which means, I have to get FBSD to somehow detect my ethernet card during the installation process. I know the wisecom card is not listed under supported cards, but, it does use the ne2000 protocol, so, their is no reason it shouldn't work. Anyhelp getting this thing to work would be greatly appreciated. ( And please forward any help to my email [ bear@vividata.com ] ) Thanks, Charles To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
