I'm trying to get my PCMCIA modem working. When I start up, FreeBSD didn't recognize si1 (which is where my modem is). Fine. I went into the GENERIC kernel, and uncommented out the laptop section, which has device lines like pcic0, etc., then recompiled the kernel. Now it starts up, and the pcic driver (or whatever it is) recognizes a card in slot 1 at IRQ3 ... Perfect! (but it still doesn't find any si1 at IRQ3, maybe that's ok?) What next? In other words, how do I tell FreeBSD that the card is a modem, and then configure the modem for dialup PPP? I realize that's two or three questions in one, but I've done a little research in the handbook, but you know how it is ... Joel Gwynn PS. Thanks to andrew@ugh.net.au and dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu who answered my question about the broken /sys link. Of course, the real answer was to first install the /sys source, which I hadn't done --duh.
