3com pc card & thinkpad 600

[tim guinn]

hi all,

i've got an old thinkpad 600 with a 3com 10/100/56k cardbus pc card in
it (model 3c3fem656).

have installed freebsd 4.9 and it works fine and all, but whereas the
system found/configured the built-in modem (which i'd rather it hadn't
done, actually) -- it did not recognize the pc card.

...so i've got ppp bound to the internal modem, but no ethernet. (it's a
home networked system)

1) what should i do to try and get the 3com card working? (or will it?)

2) is there a bsd equivalent to solaris' prtconf command or linux' lsdev
or kudzu or the like? -- ie, to see if i can see the card on the bus?

3) i've figured out things like ifup/ifdown aren't the same as w redhat,
is there a similar facility in freebsd?

4) considering i can do ifconfig and see the internal modem, how do i
disable the internal modem?


thx in advance...
