I am running
FreeBSD pfSense.local 6.2-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p11
On a laptop, with pcmcia network card.
During bootup, the card fails to initialize (details below). But if I wait
till it finishes booting, and then I yank it out and shove it back in ...
then it works.
Maybe there's a simple way for me to solve this problem, like some command
that will disable and re-enable the cardbus?
Anyway, here are the full gory details:
Compaq nc6120
In BIOS: disable as much as I can, which ain't much. Usb legacy, pointing
device, WLAN.
In BIOS: parallel port set to "standard" which is as close to "disable" as
I can get.
Cardbus: D-Link 10/100 DFE-690TXD
During boot, I get this:
cbb0: <PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0xd0001000-0xd0001fff irq 10 at device
6.0 on pci2
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
cbb1: <PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0xd0002000-0xd0002fff irq 10 at device
6.1 on pci2
cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb1
pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1
cbb alloc res fail
cardbus0: Can't get memory for IO ports
cbb alloc res fail
rl0: couldn't map ports/memory
cbb alloc res fail
rl0: couldn't map ports/memory
cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
Obviously, if I attempt to do anything with the network card, it is not
present.
If I simply yank out the card and shove it back in, I get this:
rl0: <D-Link DFE-690TXD 10/100BaseTX> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem
0xd0011000-0xd00111ff
irq 10 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
miibus1: <MII bus> on rl0
rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface on miibus1
rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:1c:40:eb:2c:0a
Now the adapter works perfectly.
I'm trying to make this adapter function correctly at bootup, without me
physically touching it.
