hello
i am currently in the process of getting FreeBSD running on my
sony vaio n505x (i think this is the european version of their
subnotebooks) - even have it so far roughly working but some
things are still open or not perfect ...
first part: 3.3-RELEASE + PAO
ok - i have it working so far - also the pcmcia cards i need
seem to work so far (a 3com 3C589, an elsa 56k modem and the
pcmcia cdrom which comes with the notebook) but some problems
are still here - for instance the 3com card works perfect if
it is inside then the machine boots - also remove and re-
insertation works (including the beep :-) - but only if booted
with the card inside gives useable transfer rates:
graichen@battus ~ % ping 10.0.0.13
(10.0.0.13 is the notebook - battus a desktop machine)

does anyone here have an idea what happens here ? (btw. i am
using the bnc port of the card) ... also i had some problems
with pcmcia modems - the first which came with the notebook
(platinum card mc221 discovery v.90) did not work at all
(i am not even getting anything useful from pccardc dumpcis -
only tuple #1 with code = 0xff Terminator) ... the second
(a dlink one) did give useful dumpcis results but i never got
it to attach cleanly - so i tried the one i have now - an
elsa pcmcia modem which works fine so far ...
part two: 4.0-current
after reading the mobile list for a while now i also updated to
-current (because it looks like things start to work here too :-)
but did not get anywhere usable now - card insertations/removals
are not discovered but a card in the slot on bootup is discovered
correctly (but does not work) - later after killing the pccardd
and restarting it the card is not found because the string is now
"" ("") ... so now my question is: i am doing anything wrong here ?
or is there still a lot of work to be done (but reading the list
it looks good i think - i only need network connection and a modem
_somehow_ working) ... ok some more words about the current
situations (always with cards inside while booting - so that they
are discovered)
* 3com 3C589: gets discovered - but i am not getting any ping or
something like working
* elsa modem card: gets discovered - but after connecting to the
modem via "cu" (which is possible) AT commands are very slow
and soon i get silo overflows
* pcmcia cdrom: does not work so far (but i'll try the patches
posted here soon - maybe this helps)
so my question here is: am i doing anything wrong - any similar
experiences ?
ah - and before i finish with all the relevant info (bootup and
used kernel config) one some last small questions:
* does anbody know something about the sound on this machine - it
has a neomagig 256av chip on it which does as far as i found out
also does the sound - even the soundblaster plus emulation a 0x220
works (but is only 8 bit) - all my tries to find somekind of wss
emulation failed so far - also oss did not work due to irq problems
- so anyone here have any other ideas to get it working ?
* is there any way to get the touchpad working in the "touching
on the pad means press left button" mode - currently only the
button itself is useable as button ?
* is there anything new known about the state of usb floppy support ?
ok - and now the info's and before them the usual
a lot of thanks in advance
