Hi, Since no one has answered this one yet, I'll take a crack at it. The FreeBSD docs for 2.2.2 indicate the that 3c589D is not supported. Appartently, 3Com made some significant changes in the D-version of the card. The PAO patches should work with this card and 2.2.2 however. At least it is listed as being supported. http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/PAO/ Another alternative is to upgrade to 3.0 which includes support for your card. I also have a 3c589D on my Thinkpad and so I just went for 3.0. The boot floppy recognized my card and it installed without any problems. Works great for me. Finally, if you are using FreeBSD on a laptop, you might want to subscribe to freebsd-mobile instead of/in addition to freebsd-questions. There is a lot less traffic, and the discussion are usually relevant for most laptop users.
