[my apologies if you've seen this before. I've had some reverse DNS issues and I _think_ my previous posting attempts where rejected] Howdy, I'm trying to get this PCMCIA NIC to work with my Compaq Presario 1235 laptop... running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. Synopsis: After applying patches I can transmit but not receive. As many others have apparently found it likes to produce "ed1: device timeout" messages rather than move bits on the wire. My digging in the mailing lists, freebsddiary.org, etc. brought me to PR misc/25147 (submitted by Gerhard Sittig) as potentially the best bet for getting it to work. [http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=25147] So.. I've applied all patches exactly as shown and the end result is that it now transmits (e.g. ping) make the activity light blink but nothing is received and I'm still seeing the "device timeout" message. 'netstat -i' shows Opkts corresponding to the number of pings that I sent out with Oerrs a few less (e.g. Opkts=8, Oerrs=5). Ipkts, Ierrs, Coll are all at zero. Before the patches were applied the activity light did not blink on transmit. Not much progress I guess... but it's _something_, at least. I'm not sure about hardware settings issues (IRQ, etc.)... I'm new to the BSD_on_laptop thing. But when ed1 gets configured the kernel message that appears is: ed1 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 ed1: address 00:e0:98:..., type Linksys (16 bit) ... which _seems_ reasonable... but is it correct? If not, what should it be and how do I fix it? My /etc/pccard.conf is adapted from Gerhard's example: card "NETGEAR" "FA410TX" config auto "ed" ? 0x80000 insert /usr/local/sbin/fa_select -b $ioaddr $device 0; /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop So... where am I going wrong? Please help! :-) Thanks much, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
