The title says it all - does the PocketEthernet I from Xircom work with
BSDI's BSD/386 1.1? I have one of them plugged in my parallel port
but it doesn't seem to be recognized. I'm trying to use it to install BSD/386
on a notebook (Compaq 386 LTE)... when I issue the "ifconfig pe0" it says
something like "adapter not found". If I try "ifconfig xir0" the system panics!
Any hint GREATLY appreciated... please email since I do not read these groups
regularly.

Thanks,

Rick
