I'm actually trying to source a -CURRENT friendly 10/100 PCMCIA card. I thought that I'd heard that the 3CCFE574BT (10/100) from 3com/Megahertz was supported, but it seems like it isn't. I've tried the pccard floppies, the regular floppies, for both -CURRENT and -STABLE. FYI, Warner has stated that Cardbus isn't working, and there are known problems with some of the ethernet cards (interrupts don't seem to be working correctly). That said, I did order the "non-cardbus" 3com card, got the above card, and it has trouble recognizing it. As a move of desperation, I tried a D-link DFE-660TX, which it doesn't recognize at all. If you have any luck, or someone has a suggestion or some patches, I'm willing to test. Thanks, Gerald. -- This is your FreeBSD -- Where do YOU want to go tommorow?

Re: Megahertz pccard
I'm using the floppies from the 01/27 CURRENT (as that's all they provide now, on current.freebsd.org)... and I can't get it to recognize the cards. Period.When it goes to initialize, and time for installation, nothing shows up for NICs... just ppp, lp0, etc. Is very frustrating!

I'm running one in my laptop right now, in fact, and it works fine. What problems are you seeing? After I boot off of the floppies (these are ~end of January, last good snap) it says on vty2: DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCONS, NULL) = 0 (success) pccard: card inserted, slot 0 ep0: No irq?! The floppies ask me if I want to use PC-CARD as my install media, which I answered yes to. There is no other info shown about the card. It's an IBM Thinkpad "Type 2621, i series" if this helps at all. It seems to see the disk ok. If it would help, I could try running through a -STABLE pccard disk install. I'm willing to debug, if someone can tell me how to get a serial console going on the laptop. Thanks, Gerald. -- This is your FreeBSD -- Where do YOU want to go tommorow?

Re: Megahertz pccard
Patel, you're a life saver!This is exactly what was needed, change the IRQ. In my case, I chose option 2 and walla. Amazing, so simple. Note this is using the snapshot that is 02/08/2000, latest (floppies). Thank you.
