merci Eric, i guessed that the si03 was to do with the modem bit so I didn't worry about that, I decided to go back to basics and forget the xircom for now. So : - took the unchanged PCCARD config file - changed pccard.conf to "config 0x1 "ep0" 9 (cards irq) ran /stand/sysinstall enabled pccard so rc.conf now reads pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="ep0" pccard_mem="0x1020" ifconfig_ep0="inet 129.181.241.90 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="129.181.241.212" network_interfaces="ep0 auto" on reboot ifconfig -a shows ep0 as unconfigured. manually running ifconfig ep0 inet 129.181.241.90 netmask 255.255.255.0 seems to help. running /etc/pccard_ether produces an intriguing response of "shift: can't shift that many" and prints the ifconfig stuff and follows that with add net default 129.181.241.212 (my gateway!) On removing and reinserting the card slot 0 unfielded interrupt (0) is issued followed by the mac address ifconfig -a goes back to it's pristine unconfigured state. another error message received at boot is that syslogd dies due bind being unable to assign requested address, there is also a message about ioctrl getting a faulty parameter but if flies off the screen to fast to see it. is there a way of recording those messages somewhere, they are not it dmesg or /var/log/messages? I feel no closer to understanding what is going on but thats my problem, but persistence can occasionally substitute for intelligence. I really would like to get this working properly though I am starting to think Freebsd on a laptop is just not meant to be, for me at any rate, bad news is that, that is exactly where I need it :-(. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Eric MASSON Sent: den 3 oktober 1999 13:59 To: maar@bull.se Cc: FreeBSD-questions (E-mail) Subject: Re: pcmcia network card problems 3com and Xircom fail to initialize Hi, mark rowlands a écrit : > > 3.3 Release with 3com 3c589c add ep0 to your kernel config file << device ep0 at isa? port? net irq? >> (maybe the syntax is not quite exact, take the standard line and remove all values on options), the fact is that you must have the driver in kernel. > Xircom CEM56 10/100 + 56 modem. This card seems to use sio3 but sio3 is disabled in your kernel config file.
