Running FreeBSD-4.0 on a Toshiba 4005CDS
Modem card 3COM/Noteworthy 56k
PCMCIA card `Network Everywhere (lynksys)' Fast Ether.
Been running the OS above for some time, but stopped configuring after
I got the NIC working (Complements to Sean O'Connell). I use this
laptop in conjunction with a desktop machine running Redhat Linux 6.2.
That machine is DSL connnected and set to IP-masq the toshiba so
haven't really needed to configure ppp until now.
I've forgotten most of what I learned while initially configuring the
pcmcia card. So am a little lost as to where to start.
Reading the ppp sections from handbook I see I must have:
pseudo-device tun 1 or similar in my compiled kernel.
Grepping the config file I see:
grep 'tun' kernel1 <== installed kernel
pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel.
#pseudo-device gif 4 # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling
Whereas grepping GENERIC I see
pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel.
pseudo-device gif 4 # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling <=not commented
Do I need the gif part inabled? And is the tun line sufficient?
On to the modem card(3COM/Noteworthy 56k):
Far as I recall this card was never properly recognized:
A few items from dmesg:
pcic0: <Intel i82365> at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0
pcic0: Polling mode
pccard0: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0
pccard1: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0
[...]
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
pccard: card inserted, slot 1
[...]
ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 10 slot 1 on pccard1
ed0: address 00:e0:98:80:08:48, type Linksys (16 bit)
(The NIC referred to above works... no problem there)
And a few other messages that appear just after the login prompt when
booting up:
Initial rc.i386 initialization: apm linux Nov 23 06:17:49 satellite pccardd[49]:
Card "Toshiba America"("3CXM056-BNW") [3COM/NoteWorthy 56K Modem] [(null)] match

The relevant section from /etc/pccard.conf

config 0x20 "sio" ?
insert logger -t pccard:$device -s NoteWorthy 56K PCMCIA Modem inserted
remove logger -t pccard:$device -s NoteWorthy 56K PCMCIA Modem remove
I've forgotten what the above means or does.
A shove in the right direction to begin figuring out how to establish
ppp connection with above mentioned modem card would be a good start.
