Hi,

Apologies in advance for the length of this - recently installed
4.2-RELEASE on my Toshiba Tecra 550CDT and have two problems:

1.) More of an annoyance than anything else, but xmms gives very glitchy
playback - lots of skipping, squeaks and pops. The card in the machine
is a Crystal 4232, which I configured thus:

device		pcm0
options		PNPBIOS

on booting the kernel, dmesg reports:

<snip>
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
unknown: <PNP0000> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources
unknown: <TOS7300> can't assign resources
unknown: <TOS7300> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0e03> can't assign resources
pcm0: <Yamaha OPL-SAx> at port
0x220-0x22f,0x530-0x537,0x388-0x38f,0x330-0x331,0
x370-0x371 irq 5 drq 1,0 on isa0
ad0: 3909MB <IBM-DTCA-24090> [7944/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO
</snip>

I have seen reports that the cs4232 code is a bit buggy - does anyone
have any other hints or tips on this?

2.) I have a 3Com 3c589D 10Mb PCMCIA card. The card does not get
ifconfig-ed on boot properly in spite of /etc/rc.conf saying:

pccard_enable="YES"
ifconfig_ep0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
hostname="foo.bar.foo.net"
pccard_ifconfig="YES"

(ips and hostname changed to protect the innocent)

It appears sets up the default route etc. with the loopback device and
then gets confused when the 3c589 is finally detected and ifconfig-ed.
The upshot of this is that I am unable to set up the network card
properly - I don't have any access to nameservers and various ips on the
network even after adding the gateway as the default route for ep0.
Admittedly many of these problems may be due to our network topography,
but I haven't had any problems with my desktop machine, also running
4.2-RELEASE. I'd be grateful to anyone who could point me in the right
direction here or what further information would help.

Thanks in advance,

Paul Martin.
