I've been a -CURRENT user for years already, but never encountered PCcard's in FBSD before. I compiled my kernel with NEWCARD options because I have a 3com card that requires the new system. (It's a 32bit cardbus card). I enabled pccard_enable="YES" in rc.conf but when the system boots it tries to start pccardc and that one tries to access /dev/card0. This device is not available. It's not in /dev. As a matter of fact, I see the cardbus init code when the system boots and it looks ok to me, but yet I have to discover the /dev entry to use for my userland programs. None of the /dev entries seems to be cardbus related. It happends to be the case that my Compaq WL100 PCcard does NOT work with the NEWCARD setup, but it DOES work with the old code. Dilemma... My 3com requires NEWCARD, but my WL100 doesn't work with it, or is this related to the missing /dev entry ? Any help would be appreciated. -Stephan -- Stephan van Beerschoten [SVB21-RIPE] stephanb@whacky.net PGP fingerprint: 4557 9761 B212 FB4C 778D 3529 C42A 2D27 "To err is human, to forgive is Not Company Policy" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
