Well, I have a Linksys PCMCIA EthernetCard that does seem to work with
FreeBSD, but it has somehow skipped past hardware probe. I have found
a viable pccard configuration for pccard.conf, but I'm unsure where
pccard.conf is and whether just editing this file will make the card
appear.
Here's what I found:
Hi Bill & all, I am currently using this card in my Toshiba T2130CT
running 3.4-STABLE as of last week. My /etc/pccard.conf entry for it is:
card "Linksys" "Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC"
config 0x0 "ed0" 5
insert /sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.0.5 netmask 0xffffff00
insert route add default 192.168.0.1
insert echo `Linksys Combo EthernetCard (EC2T) inserted`
remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete
remove route flush
remove echo `Linksys Combo EthernetCard (EC2T) removed`
I'm simply going to add these lines (and edit/remove the ones I don't
need).
But is that all I really need to do? Do I need to do anything on a
kernel level? Also, what if I'd rather the card use DHCP and not a
static IP?
Yeow! If anyone asked me these questions under Windows, I could walk
them through it with my eyes closed, but this is a different beastie!
Yikes!
Cheers,
Mike Whalen
