: : Well, it's pretty simple. I put in the card and it says,
: :
: : pccard0: Card has no functions!
: : pccbb0: PC Card card activation failed

: Can you compile the kernel with DDB enabled? Then before you insert

: and tell me what it prints? It sounds like maybe we're having
: problems setting the memory to read the CIS properly. I've seen this
: on one minipci-card (but I see it with OLDCARD too).
I realized that this may have been a tall order (interacting with the
debugger). I just implemented hw.pccard.cis_debug as a tunable (you
can set it in the boot loader) and as a sysctl (you can set it after
boot) that may be helpful. Also, setting hw.pccard.debug to 1 might
also be useful. You will need to cvsup anytime after Mar 7, 2002
1:20am MST to get this feature.
