    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... 

    -- 
i support drug testing. i believe every public official should be given
a shot of sodium pentathol and asked 'which laws have you broken this
week?'
