I was going to suggest exactly that. :) Yeah, NE2K compatible NICs have always done right by me. But this one is pretty obscure: its an 'Argosy EN-210' NIC. > What problem do you have with (Free)BSD? Well, I boot the laptop and it lists off the devices in the PCMCIA slots; it correctly identifies a 16MB ATA flash disk, and a 3com PCMCIA nic that I lost the dongle to, along with a two different modems. So I'm sure the PCMCIA hardware is being used OK. It just doesn't configure the NE2K pc card -- doesn't assign an ethernet device to it, but it does so for the 3com. > > I guess I'll try a clearance Xircom I saw and cross my fingers. > > Don't do that until you know what the problem is. I suspect that *BSD would work if it correctly identified the card as NE2K compatible and just tried to do it. Any way I can force that?
