I have a Dell Inspron 5100, and I have been using (until this weekend)=20 5.2.1-REL w/ a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA 802.11b wireless card. The wireless=20 card has been getting nicked over time, and I thought it would ne nice=20 to get a card upgrade. I had a Cardbus card already (Netgear WG511),=20 but it's Prisim 3 based, so there wasn't a native driver for it... =20 So I picked up a Atheros based card (DLink DWL-G650) And it works fine=20 with the ath driver. However, the one nag I have is that FreeBSD won't=20 detect the card at boot time: cbb0: CardBus card activation failed I have to pop the card out and pop it back in (or pop in the card after=20 the initial detection) for the card to be detected properly.=20 =2D=3D- ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x88010000-0x8801ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on=20 cardbus0 start (88010000) < sc->membase (f6000000) ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 4.6 ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24 Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 802.11 address: 00:0d:88:c8:21:6f =2D=3D- This weekend I updated to -current to use the NDIS driver w/ the WG511,=20 and although I got the card to work, I have the same boot-time issues.=20 (Guess it's a generic CardBus issue) Has anyone found a workaround in perhaps /boot/device.hints to=20 fix/workaround this issue?
