Hi,

I've been looking forward to playing with 5.0R but it seems that I don't
have much luck 
with the cardbus network cards. Both 3cxfe575bt and xircom realport cardbus
ethernet 
10/100 are listed as supported by 5.0R. But the 3c card is extremely slow
and the 
xircom card is not recognized.

My machine is an IBM thinkpad 600x. The kernel is 5.0R GENERIC. Here is the 
dmesg output for cardbus controller

cbb0: <TI1450 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0x50103000-0x50103fff irq 11 at device
2.0 on pci0
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
cbb1: <TI1450 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0x50102000-0x50102fff irq 11 at device
2.1 on pci0
cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb1
pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1

Here is the dmesg output when the 3c card is inserted

Manufacturer ID: 01015751
Product version: 5.0
Product name: 3Com Corporation | 3CCFE575BT | LAN Cardbus Card | 001 |
Functions: Network Adaptor, Memory
CIS reading done
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=80
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=18, size=80
xl0: <3Com 3c575B Fast Etherlink Xl> port 0x1000-0x103f mem
0x88000000-0x8800007f,0x88000080-0x880000ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:86:38:da:dd
...
xl0: watchdog timeout

The network connection is extremely slow. If I transfer a big file, I would
have more 
and more "watchdog timeout" and eventually the machine would crash. I tried
to
do a ftp install from current but sysinstall hangs when I tried to configure
the 
network interface.

Here is the dmesg output when the xircom card is inserted

cardbus1: Bad header in rom 0: [0] ffff
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=80
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=800
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=18, size=800
dc0: <Xircom X3201 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1000-0x107f mem
0x88000000-0x880007ff,0x88000800-0x88000fff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
dc0: No station address in CIS!

I can't do a ftp install from current with this card because dc0 is not up.

Both cards work nicely with linux 2.4 and win98 on the same machine. How can
I help
to bring these two cards to work with freebsd?
