Hello everyone, I am have a problem with 4.2 FreeBSD release installing a WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 Silver card (bought from Lucent) with a ISA to PCMCIA Adapter (bought from Lucent). I believe that the problem is related to the ISA to PCMCIA adapter card that I am using. Here is my configuration.... HP Netserver E-40 200MHZ Pentium Pro 64MB of RAM 2.0GB Hard Disk ISA to PCMCIA Adapter (bought from Lucent) WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 Silver card (bought from Lucent) PC-100 Extender card (for diagnostics) The system starts up fine and runs great, I just don't get the WaveLAN card to be identified. There are no system crashes or anything like that. I do get the following errors as a result of the pccard_enable="YES" which I added to enable Pccard services. pccardd: /dev/card0 Device not configured. pccardd: /dev/card1 Device not configured. I believe that I have got to solve this problem first before moving any further. As far as I can tell, using the PC-100 Extender Card, power is never applied to the WaveLAN card. So I don't see how it can be detected until I can get the power enabled. I am not sure what the following message means aside from the obvious. pccardd: /dev/card0 Device not configured. I believe that it means that the ISA to PCMCIA bridge has not been configured properly and therefore the /dev/card0 cannot be configured properly because the system cannot see the PCMCIA bridge setting on the ISA bus. Any ideas? Perhaps the ISA to PCMCIA bridge is not supported on FreeBSD! I have device isa in the GENERIC configuration file which I copied to my own file for editing purposes and rebuilt the kernel based on my copy. I also have device card, device pcic0, device pcic1 and device wi in the configuration file. All of those things were part of the 4.2 FreeBSD release GENERIC configuration. Only pccard was not enabled. in /etc/rc.conf (I think) The system that I am working with is not available to inspect to get the exact file name. Any ideas?
