OK Mike - I'm pretty sure that the driver for your card is ed0. You shouldn't need to hardwire you pccard controller to any IRQ; the following lines in your kernel config file should detect it: controller card0 device pcic0 at card? device pcic1 at card? At least, it works for me (I also have the TI-1131). Now the IRQ and port number for the *card* should be hardcoded in your kernel. For example, device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 9 The easiest way to find out the IRQ and port is run Windoze and check the settings in Control Panel/System. Some manufacturers (e.g. 3Com) also supply a DOS utility to change these values, so if you're not happy with your IRQ, it might be possible to change it. If your PCCard bridge is detected, you should see it in your dmesg. You should then run "pccardc dumpcis" to find out more about your card. BTW, you can change iomem and other parameters in /etc/rc.conf: pccard_enable="YES" # Set to YES if you want to configure PCCARD devices. pccard_mem="d8000" # If pccard_enable=YES, this is card memory address. pccard_ifconfig="NO" # Specialized pccard ethernet configuration (or NO). pccardd_flags="" # Additional flags for pccardd. You might also try to change the IRQ of your pcic in /boot/loader.conf.local, e.g.: machdep.pccard.pcic_irq="10" # Assigns PCCARD controller IRQ (0=polled) I can't be more helpful unless you send me the output of dmesg and pccardc dumpcis.
