Good afternoon...

I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2140CDS with the same controller.  My problem is
that the ethernet card I use (a 3Com 575) is recognized, get's a DHCP address
(not quickly, but after a few tries), but then can NOT do anything (i.e.: can't
ping, nslookup can't connect to a server, other hosts cannot ping it).

There is a related thread at BSD forums:
http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37600

My floppy drive is not working either, and I only got my thumbdrive back today
so hopefully I will able to get some info off the machine for further analysis.

In the BIOS I have set the controller to CardBus because of a tip I read for
(excuse me) Win 95.  I will try PCIC tonight/this weekend.

But I also noticed in man pccbb that the controller was explicitly listed.  So
is there a way I can get the kernel to use that driver?  If it is a driver?!  Or
am up the wrong tree?

Thanks.
