: Hello
:     I just purchased a new very cheap 16 bit PCMCIA card, D-Link 
: DFE-670TXD. Here is the entry in my pccard.conf
: 
: #D-Link DFE-670TXD
: card "D-Link" "DFE-670TXD"
:         config auto "ed" ?
:          insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
:          insert /etc/pccard_ether $device stop

: It works, no problems (yet).

: I am finding one of the big disadvantages with FreeBSD is find

I've often thought that for pccard this is very much needed.

: I am thinking it 
: can start simple, in the mailing list. When someone gets a new device to 
: work, which is not listed they post a message with a subject "NewDev: 
: <the device name>". It can get adopt a form similar to the problem 
: reports. All some has to do to find information on hared is do a search 
: of the achieves.  

Maybe that would work, maybe not.  Why don't you setup something like
that, and then get people to use it.  It would certainly help!  It
couldn't hurt :-).
