I have recently bought a laptop and am trying to get onto the network... If anyone here can help me / point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it muchly. I have seen this discussed in the archives for this list, but when I tried to e-mail the people involved directly, the e-mail bounced. :-( So, here are the gory details (all typed in by hand, so I apologise for any typos). I have a 3Com Megahertz Model 3CXEM556B PCMCIA card (that's what it says on the card). When I insert the card / boot up, the following happens (all on the console): pccard: card inserted, slot 0 chris-mob pccardd[49]: Card "3Com"("Megahertz 3CXEM556 B") [LAN + 56k Modem] [(null)] matched "3Com" ("/Megahertz 3C(CF|X)EM556/") [(null)] [(null)] chris-mob pccardd[49]: Found existing driver (ep) for 3Com chris-mob pccardd[49]: Using I/O addr 0x240, size 16 chris-mob pccardd[49]: Setting config reg at offs 0x800 to 0x47, Reset time = 50ms chris-mob pccardd[49]: Assigning I/O window 0, start 0x240, size 0x10 flags 0x7 chris-mob pccardd[49]: Assign ep0, io 0x240-0x24f, mem 0x0, 0 bytes, irq 11, flags 1 ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: Unit failed to come ready or product ID unknown! (id 0x0) chris-mob pccardd[49]: driver allocation failed for 3Com(/Megagertz 3C(CF|X)EM556/): Device not configured (P.S. Please excuse any typos in that lot!! :-D) The pccardd process is: pccardd -f /etc/defaults/pccard.conf My /etc/pccard.conf has this in it: ------------------------- io 0x240-0x360 irq 3 memory 0xd4000 96k debuglevel 4 card "3Com" "/Megahertz 3C(CF|X)EM556/" config default "ep" ? 0x1 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop ------------------------- (I cut this out of /etc/defaults/pccard.conf so that I could look at the settings.) My kernel config file has all the network card drivers from GENERIC (I think). It certainly includes a line: device ep dmesg doesn't seem to say anything more than this (it shows the card slots being initialized, then output as above). This is on 4.7-RELEASE The card works fine under Windows 2000. -- Yours, Chris Rodgers http://rodgers.org.uk/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
