Yup, that's the likely problem (another possibility is that FreeBSD is having problems with the old motherboard). As Peter said, if you searched the archives for wavelan-specific topics (it's been talked to death), you'd have found this (see the last paragraph): =============================================================================== TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Nothing appears to happen after rebooting. Run dmesg. Look for lines that start with "pcic0:". If you find some, the PCMCIA adapter was found, and you should skip to the next item. If you can't find any, this probably means that there is a problem with the PCMCIA adapter/controller: * Are you running FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE or 4.0-STABLE older than May 29, 2000, and did you just reboot from Windows 95/98/NT? Older versions of FreeBSD 4.X have a minor bug where the PCMCIA controller is not recognized if you just rebooted from Windows. This bug was fixed in 4.0-STABLE on May 28, 2000. If you reboot again, the PCMCIA controller should be found. Basically, if you were running Windows, you need to reboot twice -- or turn off the power -- to get FreeBSD to recognize the adapter. * Is the PCMCIA adapter port address correct? Note that the default address of the WaveLan PCMCIA adapter is 0x3E2, but the default for the FreeBSD driver is 0x3E0. They've got to match. =============================================================================== -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
