Hello all,
I am trying to do a net install of FreeBSD onto an old laptop (no cdrom).
I have an NE2K compatible PCMCIA NIC which Linux can successfully use, but
which no *BSD can.
I figure the problem is essentially one of recognizing this particular
card as NE2K compatible since other NE2K PCMCI
Can anyone suggest an inexpensive 16-bit PC card NIC (non-Cardbus) for use
with FreeBSD, and where I might find one?
I _REALLY_ want to get FreeBSD installed on my laptop, and I'm willing
to bite the bullet and just buy a new NIC.

:) Yeah, NE2K compatible NICs have always done right by me. But this one
is pretty obscure: its an 'Argosy EN-210' NIC.

Hmm, ok -- I'll try giving 4.7 a shot then.

Not difficult at all! FreeBSD 4.7 worked like a champ. All I had to do was
insert two floppies and smoke cigarettes :)

Who is maintaining the GNU TeXmacs port to FreeBSD?
The port is somewhat out-of-date: 1.0.1 is the current stable release,
the FreeBSD port is 1.0.0.
I tried building TeXmacs from the source, but it has some problems. I'm
going to work on it over the weekend and see if I can get it working. I'll
