RE: A couple questions regarding pcmcia cards....
The card is also available in a 16-bit version (it has a PC Card logo on the back, I don't know if the Cardbus one does or not). It's important to note that the 575 (not the 574) is CardBus. I used to have one, but semi-thankfully, it got blown up by lightning and the replacement was 16-bit and thus usuable with FreeBSD. If you actually have the 16-bit pccard version, then you need to patch your driver. I sent in patches that got committed to 4.0, but were basically replaced a month later by Matt Jacob's massive rework of the entire ep driver and not MFC'd. You can pull rev. 1.87 of if_ep.c out of the Attic from cvsweb: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/isa/Attic/if_ep.c And it will drop directly into your tree in /sys/i386/isa. Make sure you have 1.23.2.1 or later of if_epreg.h. The only major change of the patch is to hit the card with an offset command if the no-offset commands don't work. I have no idea what its significance is other than it's required to make my card work. I can't remember where I got the basic idea from, it was from PAO I think. -Original Message- From: Frank Mayhar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 12:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A couple questions regarding pcmcia cards William Woods wrote: I have two pcmcia cards here I am wondering if the work under either -stable or -current, they are: 3COM Megahertz 10/100 LAN PC Card model #3CCFE574BT This is a cardbus card (I have one, too) and won't work.

I'll have to dig up the URL that I've lost (it is in my netscape history file, I'm sure) since they talked about availablities after the first of the year which is why I blew them off before (it was in October or so I was looking).

Man, this is getting depressing, all these goodies for Christmass and NADA workie, well, I assume that -current they are working on the driver for the 574BT right and eventually it will work. On a side note, how does your laptop like -current?

Re: A couple questions regarding pcmcia cards....
And what about 3cxem556b? When somebody already asked some time ago, I looked through archives to no avail of information. It worked splendid on 2.2.7-pao ;) OpenBSD 2.6, which I have to use now isn't a solution due to it being OpenBSD.

We've received reports of this same model number being used for both the pccard and cardbus. So, how do I tell if its pccard or cardbus? Got some way for me to test it? Look at the business end of the card. Do you see a row of bumps the card? If you do, then you are holding a CardBus. If you do not see the row of bumps then you have a pccard.
