Hello,
I've been trying to get two PCMCIA cards working on my Dell
Inspiron 4100 running a recent stable (running -current is not an
option) for some time now but I got stuck.
I've tried the following:
1. hw.pcic.intr_path=1
hw.pcic.irq=0
This leads to a total freeze as soon as a card is inserted or
removed.
2. hw.pcic.intr_path=1
hw.pcic.irq=5
(I know that ISA interrupt 5 is free)
This leads to a panic even before the kernel finishes booting
saying something like unable to allocate this resource.
3. hw.pcic.intr_path=2
hw.pcic.irq=0
(The default setting, nothing about pcic in /boot/loader.conf)
With this configuration I can use at most one PCMCIA card.
After inserting a second card the system usually hangs,
removing the second card sometimes results in a panic,
sometimes it resumes operation again.
What I found reaqlly strange is this (I got this once, can't reproduce
it):
pccard: card inserted, slot 1
ata4 at port 0x240-0x24f irq 11 slot 1 on pccard1
ad8: 7MB <SunDisk SDCFB-8> [245/2/32] at ata4-master BIOSPIO
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
pccard0: Can not attach more than one child.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(The second cad I inserted was a Cisco Aironet 340 card.)
Anyone? Need more info?
Thanks in advance for any help!
