The IP address of an Ethernet pccard is configured upon insertion, so you should define "pccard_ifconfig" in /etc/rc.conf. In fact, if you used sysinstall to configure an IP address for the xe0 interface, then an "ifconfig_xe0" entry should already exist in /etc/rc.conf. Simply rename "ifconfig_xe0" to "pccard_ifconfig", insert your card, and voilą ;-) [I am assuming that you are not using DHCP] Of course, you also need pccard_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. A final note: your Xircom card detects the medium to which it connects and selects the appropriate speed; however, if you are making a direct connection to the cablemodem using a cross-wire UTP cable, then the speed autoselection may fail. In this case, you can use the "media" parameter of ifconfig(8) for selecting 10baseT/UTP or 100baseTX/UTP, and then add it to the definition of "pccard_ifconfig". Cheers, -- JMA ****** Jose M.
