Greetings All

I've tried browsing through many of the mailing lists for anyone with a similar problem as I but nothing really seems to pop up in the search.

Here is my problem:

I have an IBM Thinkpad 380ED and a Xircom XE2000 10/100 NIC which is a standard 16 bit legacy type PCMCIA card.  Not Cardbus or anything.  FreeBSD 4.5 installs fine and everything else works except for the NIC which gives a "watchdog timeout" no matter what I try:  reinserting, reconnecting the cable, etc.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or if there is a patch that will fix this?

Thanks
Ross
