Ed, I'll try to offer a couple pieces of advice, however, I'm new to FreeBSD and just getting over my problems of getting my Thinkpad going with PCMCIA.

I had to change the memory location for my laptop as it was overlapped with some other video stuff in my Thinkpad, not sure if that is your problem or not, but it's not allocating, and allocating is typically associated with memory!<G> > > Could that be the reason that I can't get my DE-660 card to work? > > My entry en pccard.conf is: > > card "D-Link" "DE-660" > config 0x20 "ed0" 10 0x10 > insert echo DLink NE2000 inserted > insert /etc/pccard_ether ed0 link0 -link1 > remove echo D-Link NE2000 removed > remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete What is the other line, the one that says: memory 0xd4000 96k Does it still have that by default? Look in your laptop manual and see where you can move that to, or do a dmesg and see if any information from anything else will help you. > > My kernel config is now only > > device ed0 > > I have tried > device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd000 vector edintr > and several others with no luck I would try and leave everything the way it was and figure out what address and how much space you can give it. I have mine set to: memory 0xd0000 16k And that seems to be enough memory for my cards that are installed (no NIC though, they might need a bigger frame buffer to work with. I only have a SCSI and Modem. I see you have a combo NIC/Modem as it's using ed and sio.
