I recently purchased 2 SMC2632 wireless PCI adapter cards, and put them in my desktop machine, which is a really old Compaq Prolenia 5500, on which I have FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p1 installed. The problem I have is this: When I boot up, it freezes up after these two lines: pcib7: on motherboard pci7: on pcib7 I eventually got the machine to boot by taking out both cards and booting up normally. Then shutting down, putting both cards back in and starting up again, at which time the machine boots without a problem. However, if I need to reboot again, it will freeze after the same 2 lines, and I have to take both cards out, reboot normally.... etc. This is consistant behavior. It freezes at the same place if I just put 1 of the cards in, though I haven't established any particular pattern with just 1 card, but I assume it's the same as with both cards. I've done some research and I've already tried what is suggested in section 2.1.6 of this page: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-i386.html I've also looked for some PnP settings in my BIOS, but the machine was made in the mid-90's, and doesn't have any PnP options that I can find. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated. I was planning on buying a new box, but wanted to check with this list to see if there was anything else I could try. Thanks!
