On a slightly different tack, the ed0 driver no longer seems to
work for PCMCIA cards (from a Sept.2 cvsup'd -current). It used to work
on a Aug 23rd -current.
I've got an old Toshiba Tectra 730XCDT laptop, and my Accton EN2216
PCMCIA 10BT LAN card no longer works. However, I'm not sure if my
problem is related to the recent pnp changes or not. At bootup, the
kernel reports:
pnpbios: Bad PnP BIOS data checksum
I've been getting this forever, and it's never seemed to cause any
problems (I also have no idea how to fix this, as this is a laptop).
Running pnpinfo shows no pnp devices, which is usual (it did this with
the older versions of -current, too).
Here's the basic problem: at bootup, the kernel doesn't report the
presence (or absence) of an ed0 device (I've forgotten if this is
supposed to happen or not). When I insert the LAN card, the pccardd
daemon reports:
driver allocation failed for ACCTON(EN2216-PCMCIA-ETHERNET): Device not configured
(The pccardd daemon is trying to use the ed0 driver.)
