Broken support for 3Com 3c575C Fast Etherlink XL?

Tue May 17 02:26:00 PDT 2005

  Hello,

  I have upgraded my Compaq Armada 1750 notebook to FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE.
  In contrast to the old 5.1-RELEASE, now the support for my 3Com 3c575C
  Fast Etherlink XL cardbus network device seems to be broken.
  It will not be initialized as you can see in the dmesg output below:

  Is there any chance to get it work or shall I downgrade to 5.1-RELEASE
  which has been running flawlessly until now?
  Many thanks for your effort,
