Hello, I sent this message once, but it apparently did not make it through. Exchange says it delivered it but...anyway, here is my question: I am having some trouble with the PCMCIA support in FreeBSD-2.2.5 (-stable as of Thu 11/13, CTM patch 506 if that means anything). The strange bit is this, FreeBSD will not recognize the PCI-to-PCMCIA bridge in the WinBook FX I am using (Cirrus Logic CL-6730) but it will find the bridge in the port replicator (same variety CL-6730). I had at first suspected that FreeBSD was only finding one controller and would find the internal one when undocked, but it does not. 2.2.2 exhibited the same behavior, I was hoping 2.2.5 would fix it. >From dmesg I get: ...

Also, chips 2 and 4 are not probed if the WinBook FX is undocked (chip2 is presumably the PCI-to-PCI bridge to the port replicator). The only thing different is the rev (revision? 254 vs. 238) which might be the problem. The config file for the kernel has: # # PCCARD/PCMCIA # # crd: slot controller # pcic: slots controller card0 controller card1 controller pcic0 at card0 controller pcic1 at card0 controller pcic2 at card1 controller pcic3 at card1 Obviously I tried to add another controller (card1) and two more slots (pcic2 and 3) to no avail. There do not seem to be any IRQ, DMA, etc settings to tweak. There are four card devices in the /dev directory (card0 through card3) which seem to be the slots (not the controllers as the config file would seem to imply). There does not seem to be any device(s) that I could find that represent the slot controller(s), but I could be wrong. Ideas? Thanks. -Rick Siple RickSiple@MPAInc.com
