Hello,

Having been monumentaly unsucessful in get FreeBSD to recognize my 
Etherlink III C590 COMBO PC card (not really surprising, I suppose)
I decided to buy a cheap Etherlink II C503 card.  I have since installed
to card and reinstalled FreeBSD.  Unix still does not see the card.

Bear in mind that, from a Unix system admin perspective, I am something
of a novice.  I have lots of experience with other OS's but little 
with Unix.  all this means is that I understand to concepts but not
the implementation.  I hope that somebody can provide me with a little
insight into this particular implementation.

Thank You,

Mike Laris
