I just dug out a TP600E, installed 4.10........ Xircom RE100 - works fine (16 bit card) Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100-Modem 56 - no go, expected as no cardbus support in 4.x D-Link DFE650 - works fine 3Com Megahertz 3CCFE574BT - works fine The "E" is a 2645-5JA Just FYI these also work in a TP600, TP600X If I use 5.x I need to run OLDCARD but the above cards work there also regards Pete > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Gary Kline > Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 3:07 AM > To: Victor Bratsev > Cc: FreeBSD Mobile Mailing List > Subject: Re: Thinkpad 600E and 5.2 > > > On Wed, Jul 28, 2004 at 10:01:26AM +0400, Victor Bratsev wrote: > > You should look at HARDWARE.txt for devices that work > with freebsd or ask > > about specific device, maybe somebody is using it. > > > > I've got TP600E with Xircom RE-100 (with some unresolved > issues) under 4.7-R > > and 4.10-R > > > > (Can you describe what your "unresolved issues" are?)... . > > Good points.
