Last week I installed a laptop, HP Omnibook 3000, as a router between
pcmcia-card 3Com
3C574-TX and radio pcmcia-card WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11. This works ok if the
WaveLAN are
allowed to be probed first and get access to the lowest io-addresses in
pccard.conf
If my 3Com card are probed first, and the lowest 0x20 io-addresses get
occupied,
the WaveLAN card init will fail, see below.
To have the WaveLAN card be probed first, I can put it in slot 0. But then
the
antenna on the card blocks slot 1, so that is no good.
What I do is to boot with only the radio card inserted, and then insert the
ethernet
card, but it would be nice to be able to boot without me being around.
So, is there a way to make the WaveLAN happy with "second best"
io-addresses, or
is there a way to probe slot 1 first, or
should I look for some mechanical extension to avoid the radiocard to block
slot 1?
I use FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
My kernel config-lines
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10
device wi0 at isa? port? net irq ?
#putting in port-addresses here has no effect
My pccard.conf-lines
io 0x240-0x360
irq 3 10 11 13 15
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi0" 11
card "3Com" "3C574-TX Fast EtherLink PC Ca"
config 0x1 "ep0" 10 0x1
