I am currently trying to install FreeBSD on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. =
The configuration was going well but when I try to configure (i.e. run =
pccardd) the wireless network card (SMC 2632W), the system hangs up. At =
one point, the card was working but when trying to configure the =
XWindows interface, everything went haywire so I blew away the BSD =
install and reinstalled. I have done a deinstall/reinstall several =
times and still the same result. I know the card works because I =
installed Windows 2000 Server after experiencing this problem and =
everything with the card worked fine. Do I need a package for the SMC =
card? Possible IRQ conflict? Any help or insight you could provide =
would be greatly appreciated.
Results of pccardd:
Aug 1 18:33:28 pccardd[149]: Card "SMC"("SMC2632W") [Version 01.02] =
[] matched "SMC" (SMC2632W") [)null)] [(null)]
wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
At this point the machine hangs...
Results of uname -a:
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0: Thu Apr 3 10:53:38 GMT =

Thanks,
Ryan
