Couple of questions about pccard :
Do the settings that your dos configuration utilities say the pccards
will use matter?
ie : "linksys ect2" has a utility for dos that I use to make the card use
irq 10 and io 300 when it was used in win95. In FreeBSD pccardd prints out
that it is using irq 3 and io 240.
If it does matter, I realize that I can set /etc/defaults/pccard.conf to
only allocate it the irq and i/o that they are set to. What about the
case where I will have two pccards in the machine and the first card
configured grabs the first irq allotted even though it is configured for
the second one, same goes for io. If it doesn't matter, great.
Some other things I've been wondering.
If I have two pccard slots in my machine does that mean I have devices
pcic0, and pcic1? If so should they both be at irq 11? <- (I have tried
to comment pcic1 out in kernel but both still show up, and both at 11. I've
also tried to assign them irq's and they still both show up at irq 11. I
have also taken the "-i 11" out of pccardd call)
The next question is not exactly FreeBSD related but pccard and irq so I'll
stick it in here. To a user of an inspiron 3000 166, I can not configure
my pccard irq in bios, so is irq 11 the right place for one or both?
Thanks for your patience.
Jared
