I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on an IBM Thinkpad 600E. I am having a problem configuring the IBM EtherJet Cardbus network card and am unable to connect to the network. After doing some research on google, I modified my /boot/loader.conf to have: hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" hw.cbb.start_memory="536870912" apm_load="1" I also modified my /etc/rc.conf to include: devd_enable="YES" pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="YES" After doing this FreeBSD does recognize the card and when I type an ifconfig, I do see the network card. However, I do not get an IP address assigned to me. On doing a "dhclient dc0" (dc0 is my device name for the etherjet card) I get an error "dc0: watchdog timeout". How can I configure my card to get an IP address using DHCP. I have not built a custom kernel. Do I need to build one, and if yes what would be the kernel config file values? Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks! Rashim
