I'm trying to get my HP OmniBook 800CT to recognize a modem or an
Ethernet card (even better, both!) in the PCMCIA slots. No matter
what I put in, I get
pccardd[50]: No card in database for ""("")
logged via syslog. Pretty much stock FreeBSD 2.2.7, just a few kernel
options based on a mix of GENERIC and PCCARD templates. (I needed to
force MAXMEM, prune out some cruft I didn't need, etc.) I simply copied
/etc/pccard.conf.sample to /etc/pccard.conf, though I had tried one with
just the Megahertz XJ4336 entry. Same thing either way. I did notice
that this file has
memory 0xd4000 96k
whereas /etc/rc.pccard does
pccardc pccardmem 0xd0000
if you use the defaults, which I did. It doesn't seem right for these
to be different, but I haven't a clue what would be correct.
I also tried 'pccardc dumpcis' but it just gives stuff like this:
Configuration data for card in slot 0
Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0
2 slots found
On the subject of a PCMCIA Ethernet card, according to the supported
hardware list, IBM and National Semiconductor are the only choices, but
the freebsd-questions archives seem to imply that the 3C589D works.
Does it work with 2.2.7? What about a 3C562? I haven't had any luck
finding either IBM or NS cards in stock, but the 3C589 is readily
available, and I've already got a 3C562 I can use.
Thanks in advance!
