Hi all,

I have a problem with a PCMCIA card from OSITEC.  It's a combo card with
Ethernet & modem on it (Jack of diamonds).  I'd like to be able to get
the unit to work in a laptop that I have, and infact I'd like to be able
to use it to install FreeBSD with.

I've tried a few different options, but no success...  The only think I
do get is, as I boot up the install disk, the ze & zp devices come up
and say that slot 0 has the above mentioned card in them, but that's
it...

How can I get the FreeBSD install to recognise this card?  I don't even
care about the modem, I just want to get the ethernet working...

And if I can't get it to work through the install, is it possible to get
it to work once FreeBSD is installed, and if so how?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warren
