hi,
trying to set up an old dell latitude CP pentium laptop.
the dmesg doesn't seem to show the :
"dell fast ethernet 10/100 base-tx by 3Com"
pcmcia card as detected.
My other ( now dead ) dell cpi pII did no problems
but i can't remember what the device name was
that it detected. And it ran netbsd 1.5.something.
My dmesg should say "Ethernet" somewhere shouldn't it?
& from this line I would get the device name like fxp0
or something.
I think that the kernel code for this ethernet card
could be out of the kernel nowadays.
Would this be correct?
thanks,
Paul.
