hi, all - i've had laptops with freebsd for almost 3 years now, and i currently run version 2.2.8 on a dell latitude LM-100, a gateway solo 2300, and on a big desktop dell machine at home (i am very glad about the recently available information that lets me run X on the laptops, both of which use NeoMagic) i am having much trouble with pc card modems for the laptops (i cleverly forgot to order the laptops with internal modems, ..., twice !), which leads me to think that i might have trouble with the ethernet pc cards, too, when we build the home network i have a hayes optima 33.6 pc card modem that i want to use (it would be much nicer than the us robotics sportster 33.6 external modem that i have to carry around now, even though that is pretty small) - my problem is that the one machine says "device not configured" during boot, and also "pcic0 not found at 0x3e0" (the /dev/card[0-3] entries are there on both machines), and the other machine (which used to say "device not configured", but does not now do so) says "driver allocation failed" when i insert the card, after scrolling a bunch of stuff i can't see off the screen (with a few lines left, such as "experimental clpd-6832 support" and "Misc 3 register is 0x9") i realize that these descriptions are insufficient, but my actual question is where do i go to look for better instructions and more information? about the pccard configuration files and their use, the kernel configuration files and their entries for pc cards, and especially the meanings of the various error messages? i've seen the PAO FAQ, the Handbook (which was more complete than i've seen it before, but still not enough), and the FAQ, but did not find enough information more later, cal Dr. Christopher Landauer Aerospace Integration Science Center e-mail: cal@aero.org PS - if there is no such information available, i can certainly provide a much more detailed specification of exactly what the configuration files say, and what happens on each machine when i boot it, and when i stick the card in the pc slots To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
