I just installed 2.2.1 with the standard boot...added the patches and it works great on my Thinkpad with a 3-com ethernet PCMCIA card. If you need any help don't hesitate ask! Michael G. ---------- From: Sam Scruggs[SMTP:sscruggs@cucinc.com] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 1997 2:42 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: PCMCIA I have an overwhelming urge to load FreeBSD onto my laptop computer. I have already loaded it onto a couple of machines, and know my way around it pretty well. I saw that freebsd had support for the 3C985 (I think that's the number) PCMCIA Network card. I am using a similar (still by 3Com) card, and I have access to the listed card as well. My problem: The last time I tried doing this, I could never get it to work, and I think I screwed up my computer as well. My computer is functional now, but... Here is my question: Does freebsd have built-in pcic drivers (drivers for the pcmcia controller as well as for the card), and has anybody out there loaded freebsd (from scratch) over a pcmcia network card with any sucess? Thanks, Sam Scruggs
