Lutz,

I am having a very similar problem with my NetGear FA410TX. No matter what I
do, the card configures with an IRQ of 3, regardless of what I say in
pccard.conf, it even configs to IRQ 3 when I use pccardc enabler. It seems
the consensus is to try and use the fa_select utility to try and configure
the card. I will try that this afternoon and post my results. If anyone else
has any other suggestions forward them along

Hi Mark and the others,

thanks for your time and effort but I'm still not there.

OK, as you guessed irq 3 is in use by sio1. In fact the following irqs
are in use:

 1 atkbd0
 3 sio1
 4 sio0
 6 fdc0
 7 ppc0
11 pcic0, pcic1, uhci0 (why this?)
12 psm0
14 ata0

If I use pccardc to dump information about the card I get a list of irqs
the card seems to be willing to use: 2 3 4 5 7 9 10 11 15. So I put the
intersection

  {i|i is irq not in use} ^ {j|j is irq card likes} = {2, 5, 9, 10, 15}

in the irq line in /etc/pccard.conf. Starting pccardd with this
configurations still fails :-( With debuglevel set to 4 I get the
following output from pccardd:

1   Apr 29 21:31:43  pccardd[148]: Card "Xircom"("CreditCard 10/100")
        [CE3-10/100] [1.00] matched "Xircom" ("CreditCard 10/100") [(null)]
        [(null)]

6   Apr 29 21:31:48  pccardd[148]: Assign xe0, io 0x240-0x24f, mem
        0xd4000, 4096 bytes, irq 11, flags 0
7   Apr 29 21:31:48  pccardd[148]: driver allocation failed for
        Xircom(CreditCard 10/100): Device not configured
8   Apr 29 21:31:48  pccardd[148]: pccardd started

What puzzles me is that in line 6 the correct device "xe0" and the
correct io range "0x240-24f" are reported. But the irq is reported as
"11" which is a) already in use and b) not in the list of irqs in
/etc/pccard.conf.

Any ideas?

Regards
Lutz
