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!
