Hi, I recently purchased an Orinoco Silver Card along with a PCI -> PCMCIA adapter, an Elan P111 (TI Bridge?). The system is FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, clean install from CD. Kernel and rc.conf etc configured for pccard. I don't think the hardware is at fault since it works under Linux. I have also tried installing different PC cards, none of which were recognised. I tried adding the following to /boot/loader.conf : hw.pcic.intr_path="1" hw.pcic.irq="0" Without the above changes to loader.conf nothing happens on card insertion, with it you get a 'beep' and message the card hasn't been recognised. I also tried setting different addresses with 'pccardc pccardmem'. And 'pccardc dumpcis' doesn't show much. Although I am a little confused over IRQs. Should I configure one in bios not to be used for PCI and reserved for ISA? And then hardwire the card to that also? Does the adapter/bridge need an IRQ? I read somewhere that with one you get much better performance. I also read somewhere that the I/O address for the wi card is wrong by default and that you need to either set the card or modify the kernel default and recompile. I have to say I am a bit confused! Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Andrew Back To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
