I have a Lucent WaveLAN Silver 11Mbps PCMCIA Card, a Texas : Instrument (chipset recognized as 1225) PCMCIA-PCI Cardbus : bridge (sold by lucent), a regular Desktop PC and FreeBSD : 4.1-STABLE. ... This conifguration isn't supported until we can do pci routing of interrupts. In laptops the cardbus bridge is connected directly to the south bridge so can ise the ISA interrupts. On the PCI bus this isn't the case. These cards come up w/o interrupts assigned to them. Most of thenm are wired to have two interrupts (INTA and INTB), but we need more work to properly route the interrupts over the INTA and INTB pins as well as setting thngs up so we know which IRQ fires when these signals on the PCI bus are asserted. Yamamoto-san has some code to do this, but I haven't had the time to look into adding this functionality. It is fairly x86 based, and I'd like at least an interface that could be supported on the Alpha. Of course pcibios is fairly x86 centric, iirc. : He never said that he has a laptop. As Eric said, this poster is : probably running into the TI1225 PCI-PCMCIA issue, which Warner has not : yet had the time to investigate/fix (I believe). Fix, no. Investigate yes. It is as above :-(. : Now, there was a different poster (Andreas Braukmann : <braukmann@tse-online.de>), who does have a problematic laptop (a Sony : Vaio). Perhaps you're getting the two posters confused? The VAIO problem is almost certainly a IRQ conflict problem, but I've not had the time to help out on that one.
