 I've been trying to get a pcmcia 3com 3c589d ethernet card recognized by
freebsd and have not had any luck so far (on a micron transport vlx).
I have verified that the cards default values are configured to irq 10 and
a memory address of 300. Does anyone know what is set wrong here or what
else I need to look at?
