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.

Your IRQ is being assigned to 5, so I assume you don't have sound in your
laptop, since they typically use 5 (although they don't have to I guess.

That all looks ok.

My guess is that the address of your memory is not correct. 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>

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.

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. Is that
correct?
