>Description:
HARDWARE.TXT says that the 3Com CardBus 3CXFEM656C NIC is supported by the xl driver, but that does not seem to be the case. I have a Dell Latitude CPx which I installed from a downloaded ISO. My experience seems to be the same as that of Karel Miklav (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2004-October/005103.html).
The driver seems to read the card, but cannot configure it (from dmesg):
xl0: <3Com 3c656C Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0x88000000-0x8800007f,0x88000080-0x880000ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
xl0: using memory mapped I/O
xl0: reset didn't complete
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: eeprom failed to come ready
xl0: failed to read station address
device_attach: xl0 attach returned 6
>How-To-Repeat:
Re-installed once with same results. Reboot shows the same dmesg output.
>Fix:
None
