I have a pccard wireless NIC, and I know it comes up and runs in Knoppix, but in FreeBSD, it is troubled. It is reported to work on one website, using NDIS, but I don't get far enough to make use of it. After some testing, I suspect it's the notebook not recognizing the pccard slot. - The cards diagnostic light blinks green and then goes off when inserted - The card information does not appear in dmesg after insertion - The card appears to work fine in knoppix - I'll have a friend with some spare pccards come over tomorrow - her cards work on her BSD box just fine, just to verify if it's card or card controller. My question, the system is a Toshiba Satellite A105-4001. It is an i850/ICH7 based machine. What's the best way to see what the pccard device is, and figure out how to get it working? My main test that leaves me suspicious, I booted the machine with the card and ran the following commands: $ ls /dev > IL-dev $ dmesg > IL-dmesg $ pciconf > IL-pciconf Next, I rebooted it without the card: $ ls /dev > I-dev $ dmesg > I-dmesg $ pciconf > I-pciconf Next I diff'ed the IL files with their matching I files, the only difference that popped up with dmesg with the 'Timecounter "TSC" frequency [...]. entry, which to my knowledge, should not be related to the problem at all. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
