Hi,

After failing the first time a few months ago, trying to install the Xircom
card mentioned in the subject in a Dell Latitude CPxJ, today I decided to h=
ave
another go at it, partly because of Michael Lucas's article about dualbooti=
ng
-STABLE & -CURRENT. I still failed to get the (network part of the) card to
work in -CURRENT though.

I installed recent snapshots of both 4.6-STABLE & 5.0-CURRENT from
snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, as described in the article. Using 4.6 the card
works fine, apart from some 'Code 136 unknown' messages and a 'xe0: watchdog
timeout; resetting card' message.

Below are the relevant lines from the dmesg for -STABLE (boot -v):

pccard0: Assigning xe0: io 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 11 mem 0x0-0xffffffff
xe0 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef iomem 0xd1000-0xd1fff irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
xe0: Forcing IRQ to 11
xe0: Xircom CEM56, bonding version 0x55, 100Mbps capable, with modem
xe0: DingoID =3D 0x444b, RevisionID =3D 0, VendorID =3D 0
xe0: Ethernet address 00:10:a4:f1:33:37
bpf: xe0 attached
xe0: watchdog timeout; resetting card

The card does *not* work in -CURRENT however:

pccard0: Assigning xe0: io 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 11 mem 0x0-0xffffffff
Jun 18 14:27:58 nbwin141 pccardd[141]: driver allocation failed for Xircom(=
CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56): Device not configured

I have 'device xe' in my kernel for -CURRENT (although I checked and it
appears to be included in GENERIC also), I have made a pccard.conf that loo=
ks
like:

irq 11
memory 0xd1000 96k

(although I don't suspect that is the problem), I've tried with or without
ACPI (by 'unset acpi_load' in the loader), and reinserting the card after
boot; all of those didn't seem to matter.

After searching the archives there was mention of setting the memory address
in /etc/sysctl.conf, but still no go.

As all other relevant information is a bit large (2 x verbose dmesg, etc.
etc.) I do not include them here, but they are of course available on reque=
st.

uname's:

FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT-20020616-JPSNAP #1: Tue Jun 18 13:33:01 GMT 2002
FreeBSD 4.6-RC-20020616-JPSNAP #0: Sat Jun 15 23:37:24 GMT 2002

Can anyone help me? I'd like to help test -CURRENT with this laptop.

Please CC me, as I'm (still) not subscribed.
