The Adapter itself is fine (works under Linux and others), but BSD recognizes a Xircom pocket ethernet adapter instead (pe0/xir0). Of course its not able to start that Xircom at boot time - because there is no Xircom but an IBM TR! What's going wrong? Maybe wrong adapter type? (The man pages are talking of dip switches wich aren't there...) But which IBM adapter *is* supported then? Any hints are very much appreciated !!! thanx & cheers Ekkehard guembel@dvg-hannover.de
