Trevor, as a newbie to freebsd myself, I got confused as to how I eventually
got my PCMCIA modem to work.
I *do* know that the GENERIC configuration in /etc/default/pccard.conf
worked. I later used dumpcis to write a configuration specific to my modem.
This eliminated the 5-10 seconds it took the GENERIC configuration script to
configure my modem card.
At the bottom of this email is the output from dumpcis. You'll see there
several references to "config index=0x5" I used this and some other
information from dumpcis for the following additional entry to pccard.conf
# AmbiCom 56K V.90 Modem, PCMCIA modem
card "Ambicom" "AmbiCom 56K V.90 Modem"
config 0x5 "sio" ?
logstr "Ambicom V90 Modem"
Looking over the long list of PCMCIA nic cards in pccard.conf, it seems that
nic configuration might be more complex. I'm taking the liberty of posting
this to the freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org mailing list. You can subscribe to
it by writing 'subscribe mobile' in the body of a message to:
Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
Actually, one other things you need to ask yourself -- somewhere in the boot
messages is there indication that pccardd is running and has a PCMCIA card
been probed and assigned an IRQ?
Good luck,
Hal
