I've just installed freeBSD (4.3-RELEASE) on my Dell Latitude CPi =
Notebook, everything went ok except the detection of the pcmcia network =
card.

the card I have is a dell branded 3com - 3CCFE575BT-D, I think this is =
the same card as the 3com 3CCFE575BT with the -D part simply signifying =
'Dell'.=20

I understand that this card is 32-bit CardBus type and such cards are =
not yet supported. As far as I can tell support is only planned for  =
release 5.0.

is this correct ??

does anyone know a workaround or should I just buy one of the cards =
listed in pccard.conf ??

cheers

pat
