Re: PCMCIA ne2000 compatible Ethernet card driver

["Ari Constancio" <ari.constancio%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi Javier,

Probably the card's entry is commented in
/usr/src/sys/arch/<ARCH>/conf/GENERIC (I haven't checked, though).

See http://netbsd.org/docs/kernel/index.html#how_to_build_a_kernel and
http://netbsd.org/docs/kernel/index.html#new_pcmcia_device .

Cheers,
Ari Constancio
