Any information ? Scuze the more than 70 char lines here... Basically, take a look in your /var/log/messages and see if you see something similar to this when you insert the card: Jun 24 01:12:54 pan /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 Jun 24 01:12:54 pan pccardd[139]: Card "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE") [Ve rsion 01.01] [] matched "Lucent Technologies" ("WaveLAN/IEEE") [(null)] [(null)] Jun 24 01:12:59 pan /kernel: wi0: at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 Jun 24 01:12:59 pan /kernel: wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:02:a6:7d Jun 24 01:12:59 pan pccardd[139]: wi0: Lucent Technologies (WaveLAN/IEEE) inserted. If not, don't dispair. Here is an example of an unsupported card : Jun 25 16:49:20 pan pccardd[139]: No card in database for "Dell"("TrueMobile 115 0 Series PC Card") To fix this, I copied the Wavelan bit of my pccard.conf and changed it as follows : # Dell TrueMobile card "Dell" "TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card" config 0x1 "wi" ? # config auto "wi" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop Now it works. This assumes that the Sony card is a Wavelan OEM. This is a good place to start. -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
