Steve,

before

I was wondering if you got any messages like:

pcic: I/O win 0 flags 15 300-31f

>Yes, I'm using:
>
>io   0x240-0x360

>What might I change the ioports to?
>What are "config indexes"?

Some of us change the io line to read something like

io  0x240-0x25f 0x280-0x2df 0x300-0x32f 0x340-0x36f

to avoid serial ports and sound cards.  Of course, each should evaluate
his own situation.

By config indexes I meant the various config setting options stored in
the pccard's CIS.  You can see these with pccardc dumpcis; entries are
marked code = 0x1b.  Some cards have a lot, some a few.  If this card
is like my LinkSys EC2T then there are lots of configs - with different
ioports - to choose from.  The value of selecting a config index is
that pccardd and FreeBSD are not true Plug and Play.  pccardd in the
past has happily assigned in use resources to cards, based on
pccard.conf, which then fail to configure.

Greg
