I am really looking for some advice, or source, to look for concerning
set up of my NIC. It is a dual boot machine (why I sent this message
from windows - FBSD isn't hooking up to the network!)
I have included the following information in this e-mail, hoping to find
direction in looking for a solution. I am using 4.2 Release on a Sony
VIAO PCG-748 laptop (Pentium 266MHz), and trying to get a Lucent
Technologies WaveLAN gold 802.11 wireless network PCMCIA card running.
It never has allowed me to connect to the network.
The output of `uname -a` is "FreeBSD vette.orem1.northsky.com
4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000
jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386"
In defaults/rc.conf, I have pccard_ifconfig="NO". Will this prevent me
from setting up the card? If so, can I set it to "YES", or is there
something special I need to do?
One thing I realized, is I set my io ports to some off the wall values,
and never changed them back (I'm in Windows, right now, and it is
painful to exit out, boot into BSD, and then back). The rest of the
pccard.conf values are the default ones from FBSD4.2-R, including the
following entry for the wavelan card:
# Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi" ?
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
Stripped down version of the dmesg output is as follows, including the
pccardd errors (which weren't put into the dmesg):
