Well, I've been trying to get PC card support working under FreeBSD with my
Dell Inspiron 2500 for nearly a week now and I must admit I'm at a complete
loss.  Windows XP reports that the controller is an O2Micro OZ6933 and
everything works great.
I've tried 4.3-RELEASE and 4.5-RELEASE and while the controller is
succesfully probed, pccardc appears to have problems registering memory.

pcic0: <O2micro 6933 PCI-Cardbus Bridge> irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci1
pcic0: PCI Memory allocated: 0x44000000
pcic0: Warning: O2micro OZ68xx chips may not work
pccard0: <PC Card bus (classic)> on pcic0
pcic1: <O2micro 6933 PCI-Cardbus Bridge> irq 9 at device 3.1 on pci1
pcic1: PCI Memory allocated: 0x44001000
pcic1: Warning: O2micro OZ68xx chips may not work
pccard1: <PC Card bus (classic)> on pcic1
...
Setup PC-CARD:
pccardc:
ioctl (PIOCRWMEM)
:
Invalid argument
...

I've also tried using 5.0-CURRENT with both OLDCARD and NEWCARD support.
With OLDCARD support the controller is detected as a 6933 and with NEWCARD
as a 6833.  In either case a message similar to the following is received.

pcic0: <O2micro 6933 PCI-Cardbus Bridge> irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci1
pcic0: Could not grab register memory
device_probe_and_attach: pcic0 attache returned 12

Does anyone have a Dell Inspiron 2500 with card support working?

Does anyone have any experience with similar problems and suggestions for a
work around?

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I should start looking to correct
this problem myself?

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Scott.
