Hi Gurus,
I have a dell Latitude LM and want to install FreeBSD 4.4 on
it. I have the 2 floppies to set up the reteive from the
FreeBSD site. I have a linksys PCMCIA external card to
connect to my LAN and connect to the network. The FreeBsd
book says to specify card0 as well as the settings of the
linksys PCMCIA nic card. These are io=0x300 irq=11
When I try to set the kernel section and then go to the
installer I get a warning about the 11 irq may be a problem.
But I can't get the eth0 ( which is what linksys says is
NE2000 compatible setting to show up in the "go to" for
installing the nic and loading the FreeBSD from the network.
Any help would be appreciated.
