Here is the relevant dmesg output of my router at home (a P200 on an Asus PCI board): pcic0: at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 irq 10 on isa0 pcic0: management irq 10 pccard0: on pcic0 pccard1: on pcic0 This is a ISA-PCMCIA bridge manufactured by SCM, sold by Lucent. Lucent also sells a PCI-CARDBUS bridge, but without BIOS support it is not recognized by FreeBSD. It is said that the PCI-CARDBUS bridge works in Tyan motherboards, but these are not exactly cheap. wi0: at port 0x240-0x27f irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: Ethernet address: 00:60:1d:f6:59:4f wi0: starting DAD for fe80:000b::0260:1dff:fef6:594f wi0: DAD complete for fe80:000b::0260:1dff:fef6:594f - no duplicates found This is an Orinoco WaveLAN card in the Vadem bridge. I'd try another IRQ for the card, just to be safe. BTW: I have tried to use two Orinocos in one system, but seemingly pccardd is not able to handle two cards of the same make if these cards have only one configuration entry. Fixing this would require a few pretty drastic changes in pccardd. Will pccardd die when newbus gets into the mainstream some time, making the configuration of pccards a kernel-only thing? Or will FreeBSD continue to use pccardd, so that such a change would make sense in the long run? -Hans -- finger hans@huebner.org for details To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
