To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 15:46:59 +0200 (SAT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Regarding problems with PCMCIA controller / pccardd / Ethernetcard / FreeBSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone can help me out with this problem I would be MOST grateful. If I made an obvious mistake, sorry for the junkmail... I have the following configuration: -Acer Extensa 355 notebook (P133MMX,32MBRAM) -Cirrus Logic PD672X PCMCIA controller (reported by FreeBSD at boottime) -Accton EN2216 PCMCIA ethernetcard I did the following: - Installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 from DOS partition. - Compiled and installed the PCCARD kernel (supplied) - edited the /etc/rc.conf file: - pccard_enable="YES" - pccard_mem="DEFAULT" - pccard_ifconfig="YES" - made sure /etc/pccard.conf is OK - started pccardd: pccardd -d (for debugging info) When I insert my pccard, I get the following message: date..blah....Card inserted, slot 0 ..............pccardd[41]: No card in database from ""("") So, I started playing around with pccardc. I killed the pccardd, and issued a pccardc dumpcis - and got the following output: Configuration data for card in slot 0 Tuple #1, code - 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 2 slots found I got the same results when the pccardd was running. I also played around with the settings in /etc/pccard.conf, changed interrupts, memory locations etc, but *nothing* is working. It seems to me (I might well be wrong of course) that the problems lies at the pccard controller - the Cirrus Logic. I cannot get the card information from the pccard, therefore it cannot be matched to an entry in the /etc/pccard.conf, and therefor it cannot ifconfig the interface. I also used other pccards (3com etherlink III, Psion Goldcard, SMC EliteCard) - no luck. I even reverted back to FreeBSD 2.2.5 - and had the same results. I d/l and installed the PAO package, same effect. I am at a dead end. If anyone can help me please do so!
