The first card (rp0) works just fine. The second card (rp1) can send data, but can't recieve. Using kermit to connect to one of the /dev/cuaR16 .. /dev/cuaR15 ports, I can actually login to a remote system, and do commands, but I get *nothing* back. The nice little red light on the external expander for the part I'm using flashes, even for recieve traffic. And yes, when I move a cable from rp1 to rp0, it works just fine. :) One step further, I've had the rp1 card in another system (where it was rp0, the only RocketPort card) and it worked just fine. I'm running 4.3-STABLE.

You need the latest if_wi driver from -stable or -current, but it will work. These are PRISM II cards. The only glitch is that reading the station address during the driver attach phase sometimes fails, so I tweaked the driver to try reading it twice. This is why you need the latest 4.3-STABLE or 5.0-CURRENT driver. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Jul 12 16:35:34 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from smtp3.knology.net (user-24-214-63-13.knology.net [24.214.63.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id E016937B405 for ; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 16:35:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from steve@havk.org) Received: (qmail 12873 invoked from network); 12 Jul 2001 23:35:26 -0000 Received: from user-24-214-56-224.knology.net (HELO bsd.havk.org) (24.214.56.224) by user-24-214-63-13.knology.net with SMTP; 12 Jul 2001 23:35:26 -0000 Received: by bsd.havk.org (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 363141A7D1; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 18:34:58 -0500 (CDT) Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 18:34:58 -0500 From: Steve Price To: Bill Paul Cc: Brett Glass , hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Driver for D-Link DWL-650 card?

When I try to fire-up pccardd I'm greeted with this message: root@tucker(/etc)# pccardd Jul 12 18:28:46 tucker pccardd[332]: fatal error: no PC-CARD slots Jul 12 18:28:46 tucker pccardd[332]: fatal error: no PC-CARD slots I'm assuming I need to be running pccardd to use this card. This is with -stable sources CVSup'd about an hour or so ago and a GENERIC kernel.
