This is a type 2 card (not Cardbus), based on the older 3C589 Etherlink III. The 3C589 is listed in the FreeBSD 3.2 docs as supported; does this cover the new Megahertz cards too? The PAO package lists a similar card, the 3CXE589ET, as being supported, but it uses one of those horrid X-Jack connectors instead of the traditional small cable between PCMCIA card and RJ-45. :( Anyone had experience with the 3CCE589ET? Specifically interested in any horror stories, whether you used the generic kernel or PAO, and/or how many hoops you had to jump through to get it working. TIA, Nick.
