The windows driver claims this is an Intel 21143/2 based 10/100 mbps Ethernet Controller, but I don't think it's even getting to the point of talking to the card; please see below. The card was inserted into the machine with the power off, so it shouldn't be a matter of detecting an insertion "on the fly". Using a 4.0 snap from 3/29/2000, I installed and turned on pccardd in /etc/rc.conf, and pointed it at /etc/pccard.conf.sample to use as a config file. Upon boot, I see (transcribed by hand, typos are mine): pcic0: at port 0xe30 iomem 0xd0000 irq 10 on isa0 pcic0: management irq 10 pccard0: on pcic0 pccard1: on pcic0 If I execute ``pccardc dumpcis'' it lists two slots, and claims both have terminators with length = 0. At boot time when pccardd starts, I get a message: pccardd[44]: No card in database for ""("") Interesting that there is only one physical slot on the machine, but that may be an architectural nuance or something. The card appears to be fine; it functions normally under windows. I am pretty much a neophyte when it comes to pccard stuff; if anyone has any hints or suggestions, or if there is further information which would be useful, please let me know. I can get a different card if need be, and can also install -current if need be, but the symptoms here almost seem to indicate that there is a problem talking to the PCMCIA controller itself which doesn't sound hopeful. I did search the FAQ, handbook, and the mailing lists with no particular luck, so any help would be most welcome. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
