[ I'm not on this list - please cc replys directly to me. I think I'll get freebsd installed before I subscribe to yet another mailinglist :-) ]. Hi. I've tried to install FreeBSD on a laptop which has a 3com 3c589d etherlink III adaptor. I've successfully booted linux on the machine and I _know_ that linux detects the card at address 0x300 and uses irc 3. The default freebsd installation disk uses irq 10 so I changed that to 3 just in case. I've never installed FreeBSD so I might have misunderstood something, but this is what I did. Booted. Selected visual config. Removed all SCSI-stuff and other stuff until there were no more "CONF" issues to be resolved. (I think I removed one of the serial ports when I tried with the IRQ 3 settings - otherwise it was all hardware that isn't present on the machine). I tried both setting irc to 3 and 10 in the configuration for the network card. The probe-code then said: zp: pcmcia slot 0: zp: slot 1: no card in slot zp0 not found at 0x300 - which seems to indicate that it can't find the card. Now the http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook10.html sais that the 3C589 is supported. Maybe the probe-code should be slightly modified to recognize the 3c589d. astor
