Unfortunately, it's not the best suggestion. I installed 4.6 on a laptop a couple of days ago and selected enabling PCMCIA devices during installation, using DHCP. It worked out of the box. In /etc/rc.conf, there are the following relevant entries: ifconfig_wi0="DHCP" pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" pccard_mem="DEFAULT" pccardd_flags="" > NOTE: DHCP and everything else work flawlessly on a win2k dual boot > on the exact same computer. Then the entries above should work too. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
