Hello,
First of all thanks for the previous usefull informations about
the pcic driver. If any one needed, the configuration needed for
the pcic0 driver on a olivetti echo pro 200 is an address of 0xfcfc
(that can be set on the kernel configuration). I let the IRQ=10.
I have a CDROM distribution of FreeBSD 3.2 but the corresponding PAO kernel
says it does not recognize the xircom card.
I thus try to install the last PAO version (with 3.5 FreeBSD) over the
network. The network card is the
xircom creditcard ethernet adapter IIps
Here is the steps I followed:
Configuring the kernel : pcic0 --> address 0xfcfc
The system says it recognize the pccard driver and ask me if I
want to use it as an install media --> I answer yes
It starts looking at probing the device and on the console F2 it
writes: (note the message logger not found and /etc/pccard_ether)
Card0: assign xe0 iobase 0x300 irq 9 maddr 0x00d4000 msize 0x4000
xe: probing for unit 0
xe0: attach
Xeo Xircom CE2 bonding version 0x7
Xe0 Ethernet address 00:80:c7:e9:83
logger not found
/etc/pccard_ether: not found
DEBUG: found a netword device named lp0
DEBUG: found a netword device named xe0
I then continue the install process (standard : configuring my disc and
my partition,...)
I am then ask wether I should config my interface. I say yes for the
xe0 interface, and no DHCP, then
provide the IP, gateway,DNS and domain name.
If I give the wrong values, the system tells me it cannot find the
server (I use the pAO server since I want pao distrib) --> I think the
network is set successfully when I am not wrong : Switching to the
other console I get the folowing messages:
DEBUG: ifconfig xe0 inet 129.194.33.206 netmask 255.255.248.0xe0: init
xe0: enable_intr
DEBUG: Adding default route to 129.blabla.add net default:
gateway 129....
xe0: watchdog timeout; resetting card
xe0: stop
xe0: disable_intr
xe0: hard_reset
xe0: setmedia
xe0: disable_intr
xe0: init
xe0: setmedia
xe0: disable_intr
xe0: soft_reset
xe0: silicon revision = 0
xe0: disable_intr
xe0: init
xe0: enable_intr
I have seen on mailing list that the watchdog message means an irq
conflict but it seems here not to be the case:
the irq assigned is 9 and I have no device handle by irq 9 in my dmesg
(FreeBSD 3.2)
When I try to ping the IP number from another machine, nothing comes.
My questions then :
===================
Why does the system look at /etc/pccard_ether (begining) since I ask to
overide the current version of my FreeBSD box.
Where am I wrong ? (many places maybe)
What to check now ?
I've seen that some of the xircom ethernet credit card is not known to
be supported. How can I know if mine is that one ?
Is there any supported card I could buy to avoid this kind of problem
(i.e. 2 different cards with very small difference in their name).
Any help would be appreciate ....
Since I am not a system guru, please, do not answer in hexa.... :-)
