	The 3CXFE575CT is the 3Com/Megahertz 10/100 32Bit CardBus Card
with XJack connector right?  If so, FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE doesn't support
it as it only supports 16bit PCMCIA cards.  You need one of the FreeBSD
-current SNAPSHOTS ISO Images dated August 18, 2002 or later from
current.FreeBSD.ORG both via ftp or www and it should support it.
