I have looked around the archives and to-do lists and concluded that cardbus cards are not supported; but what about cardbus controllers? A friend has a laptop we just installed 4.0-RELEASE on, and it apparently picks up and configures the card interface/controller properly but not his ethernet card (a 32-bit cardbus one). The card works under windows, so it must be a cardbus controller that fbsd is at least appearing to detect. I have just installed 4.0-R on my laptop as well, but my card controller doesn't seem to get detected. I have a D-Link DE-660, plain PCMCIA ethernet card in there which should work, it has an entry in /etc/pccard.conf.sample here are the only two apparently relevant lines from dmesg: chip1: <PCI to CardBus bridge (vendor=1217 device=6832)> irq 9 at device 5.0 on pci0 chip2: <PCI to CardBus bridge (vendor=1217 device=6832)> irq 9 at device 5.1 on pci0 'pccardd -d -f /etc/pccard.conf.sample' returns: fatal error: no PC-CARD slots and 'pccardc power 0 1' returns: pccard: /dev/card0: Device not configured Under win95, the slots come up in device manager as "O2Micro OZ6832 CardBus Controller". My laptop is an Acer Extensa 367T. If anyone has any clues, I'd be grateful. emailed replies direct to me (jon@sullen.demon.co.uk) are appreciated as I am not subscribed to the list, but I will use the www.freebsd.org mailing list search to look for replies too. And if anyone knows the status of cardbus card support in 4.0-STABLE or 5.0-CURRENT, or even a vague ETA of support for them, I'd like to hear about it Thanks a lot, -- Jon Povey - spamfilter@sullen.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
