In The Beginning, I had a Lucent Orinoco PCI<->PCMCIA (for a "wi" device) installed in my PC running FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE. God (Warner Losh) had told me to put hw.pcic.ignore_function_1=1 in my "/boot/loader.conf" file, to stop the kernel from hanging. And It Was Good: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:60:1d:f1:36:3e wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station 7.52.01 But then, I decided that wanted to also enable my PC's sound card: an ESS Allegro. I tried adding snd_maestro3_load="YES" to my "/boot/loader.conf", but this wedged the kernel. (Ditto if I instead ran kldload snd_maestro3 at runtime.) Andy Sparrow then suggested that I *also* add hw.pcic.intr_path=1 hw.pcic.irq=0 to my "/boot/loader.conf". This succeeded in letting me enable the ESS sound card pcm0: <ESS Technology Allegro-1> port 0x1000-0x10ff irq 5 at device 13.0 on pci0 without hanging the kernel. However, this had the unfortunate side effect of preventing my "wi0" device from getting enabled: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 13 slot 0 on pccard0 pcic0: Hardware does not support irq 13. wi0: bus_setup_intr() failed! (22) device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 22 My "/etc/pccard.conf" file contained irq 13 So I tried changing this to other free IRQs instead. However, all other free IRQs had the same effect, except that "irq 9" *almost* worked: wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 9 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:60:1d:f1:36:3e wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station 7.52.01 wi0: watchdog timeout [repeated several times] So, in this case, the "wi0" device got enabled, but the "watchdog timeout"s made it unusable. So, any ideas for what I can do to make both my "wi0" device, and my ESS sound card, work?? Ross.
