Here is what I did : I recompiled the kernel with "irq 11" instead of "irq ?" for both pcic0 and pcic1, then I wasn't getting the "(null)"("(null)") problem anymore, so I saw that I was slowly getting there :-) Now I was getting the good ol' "Config id 35 not present etc." I had before with FreeBSD 4.1.1 whithout having the time (nor the knowledge) to fix it. This time I saw something : The pccard.conf was parsed and the (first) matching instance for my card was the one only for the serial port!!! (Yes, stupid mistake I made...) So I put the ethernet part at the top of my /etc/pccard.conf file and I got another step further... Now I got something like "unable to assign IRQ"... rats! I tried to put "irq 10" at the top of my pccard.conf, but same thing. Then I tried to change the "?" in the card's section to "10" and... voilą! It was tough (I'm really used to Linux, especially SysV-style ones, but a complete FreeBSD newbie), and I really don't know how I could have done without having a Linux dual-boot to know the interrupts to use... oh well. Now I'm kind of stuck setting the card's ipv4 config by hand after every boot since the /etc/pccard_dhcp script doesn't seem to work for me (I have a dhcp server on my LAN, but the ethernet link doesn't even go up). Does anyone know what to do? I tried to use sysinstall to set my network settings, but dhcp for xe0 didn't work (it went straight to a manual config screen) and only the nameserver seems to be set at boot time (not the IP address nor the gateway). But I'm glad to have at last a network connection! I compiled lots of ports (xmms, gimp, some games etc...) without any problems :-) I like my new toy! Now I just need to get used to it ;-) Matthias -- Matthias Saou matthias@accelance.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
