I have been using the 3c589B Combo in a Midwest Micro Pentium-90 with 2.0-950422 snap release. I too have only got 10 Base T working but I just got the programming manual from 3com and so I intend on fixing the driver to autodetect the transceiver type. I first had a problem getting the driver to work at all and after getting the CL-PD672x PCMCIA chipset manual and looking at the Linux driver, I found that I had to slow the PCMCIA access down because of the pentium. Once I set some registers in the PCMCIA chip in the if_zp driver, it worked like a champ. I guess I should send these diffs in but I think we'll need a config file option since its only a problem with Pentium's and the CL-PD672x. My laptop was sent back for battery charger repair (sadness) but as soon as it comes back, I'll probably work on the 3c589 driver. By the way, I have X11R6 working and its a fantastic setup. I compile the entire kernel in 8 minutes (16 MB ram, 720MB hard disk). I bought it for Gated development and have been very pleased with both the laptop and FreeBSD. Tom
