Subject: Re: NetBSD on a notebook?
Sender: owner-netbsd-users@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu
what I'm wondering is will NetBSD run on a notebook?
Yes.
but will I be able to use the internal faxmodem [...]
Is it compatible with anything else? I'd guess it probably uses a
standard UART (or clone thereof, anyway) to talk to the CPU, and so it
ought to work fine.
PCMCIA Ethernet cards?
That depends on what card, exactly. There are two PCMCIA ethernet
drivers floating around, one of which is part of a more general set of
PCMCIA configuration code, and one of which is very specifically a port
of the if_ed driver (which at some point should be redone using the
generic code).
Stefan Grefen is responsible for the PCMCIA code. I forget where to
get it offhand; send him mail (grefen@hydra.convex.com) and I'm sure he
can be of more assistance.
(Sooner or later I'll work on putting it into our tree, but I have a
lot of other things on my list too...)
