In Re: FreeBSD 4.4 Unix Laptop LAN/WLAN/Internet Dialup Configuration
I have been attempting to receive some sort of acknowledgement to the
attached [below Feb 2 2002] and previously forwarded email.
It is possible that my email was down? due to a recent acquisition of my
ISP.
I just need to be pointed in the right direction here...thanks.

Thank you for your recent repsonse to my NETGEAR 10/100 CardBus Mobile
Adapter Model FA5111compatibility question. I reinstalled a
Xircom, as follows...
I believe I have succesfully installed both a Xircom CreditCard
Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 and a Cisco Systems 340 Series Wireless LAN
Adapter, however, I am getting a "device not configured" for the Xircom.
I will present my configuration and the output of /var/log/messages
pertaining to that module, as follows:
Configuration:
DELL Inspiron 7000 Laptop
FreeBSD 4.4-Release #0:Sep 2001
CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (366.6\7-MHz686-class CPU)
Genuine Intel
X.11 Windows Manager: Gnome/Sawfish
NIC(s): Xircom CreditCard [Ethernet 10/100] + Modem 56; Cisco Systems
340 Series Wireless LAN
Modem: Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + [Modem 56]
In etc/rc.conf I added: pccard_enable="YES"
/var/log/messages produced the following [relevant] information upon
booting the system:
---
.
.
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
pccard: card inserted, slot 1
pccard[85]: Card "Xircom" ("CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 +
Modem56")[CEM56][1.00] matched "Xircom"("CreditCard" Ethernet 10/100+
Modem 56")[(null)][(null)]
pccard[85]: driver allocation failed for Xircom (CreditCard
Ethernet10/100+Modem 56):Device not configured.
pccard[85]: Card "Cisco Systems"("340 Series Wireless LAN
Adapter")[(null)(null)] matched "Cisco Systems" ("340 Series Wireless
LAN
Adapter")[(null)][(null)]
kernel:an0:<Aironet PC4500/PC4800> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 1 on
pccard1
kernel:an0:Ethernet address: 00:40:96:37:78:9d
pccard[85]:an0:Cisco Systems (340 Series Wireless LAN Adapter)
inserted.
pccard[85]: pccard started.
.
.
.

Question:
How do I configure the Kernel and Xircom CreditCard Ethernet
10/100+Modem56 for both [network and PPP] connectivity...i.e. how do I
configure the "driver allocation" so as not to fail [per above boot
output]?
I assume the Cisco 340 Wireless LAN Adapter PCMCIA is functioning
properly however I have not used it in a "live" setting yet nor have I
configured the SSID...which brings me to
another question as to which file this [SSID...] information goes in?
I tried to learn as much as possible so as not to bother you with too
trivial a situation/question(s) butI am stuck at this point.
My ultimate near-term objectiveis to get LAN connectivity with my
Windows 2000 Advanced Server Domain Controller and Linux RedHat
7.1/Windows 98 hybrid LA/FreeBSD 4.4 UNIX hybrid LAN in addition to PPP
connectivity with the FreeBSD 4.4 Unix workstation.
I cannot thank you enough for your priceless and timely assistance.
I have cc:'d FreeBSD.org also in the event this is more relevant for
that area.
Sincerely,
