Warren,
Two things:
1) When I start pccardd, I definitely see the device. Now my output for
ifconfig is:
ed1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.115 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:fe1c:1abf%ed1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
ether 00:40:f4:1c:1a:bf
The NIC address is the one printed on the card.
2) Looking at the source code for FreeBSD 4.5 current, I find that there
seems to be a driver for NetGear FA411. For example, grep finds these
lines:
./conf/NOTES
{ PCMCIA_CARD(NETGEAR, FA410TXC, 0),
{ PCMCIA_CARD(NETGEAR, FA411, 0),
./dev/ed/if_ed_pccard.c
/* Dlink chipset used on some Netgear and Dlink PCMCIA cards */
./dev/ed/if_edreg.h
vendor NETGEAR 0x0149 Netgear
/* Netgear */
product NETGEAR FA410TXC 0x4530 Netgear FA410TXC
product NETGEAR FA411 0x0411 Netgear FA411
./dev/pccard/pccarddevs
#define PCMCIA_VENDOR_NETGEAR 0x0149 /* Netgear */
/* Netgear */
#define PCMCIA_CIS_NETGEAR_FA410TXC { NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL }
#define PCMCIA_PRODUCT_NETGEAR_FA410TXC 0x4530
#define PCMCIA_STR_NETGEAR_FA410TXC "Netgear FA410TXC"
#define PCMCIA_CIS_NETGEAR_FA411 { NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL }
#define PCMCIA_PRODUCT_NETGEAR_FA411 0x0411
#define PCMCIA_STR_NETGEAR_FA411 "Netgear FA411"
I'm currently using the stock kernel sources. I'll give your suggestion
a shot before trying the current kernel.
Thanks,
Taro
