Let me restate my original dilemma. My laptop can only use my WLAN card=20 when it's configured as a 16-bit PCMCIA device and not as a 32-bit CardBus= =20 device. In NetBSD, this can be accomplished by typing "boot -c" at its loader promp= t=20 and typing "disable cbb*" to disable the cbb (CardBus) drivers, which=20 leaves the pcic (PCMCIA) drivers to correctly configure the card. After=20 doing this, the card works exactly as hoped. Similarly, I can get the same effect under Linux by disabling the "32-bit=20 CardBus support" option; the end result is a happily working WLAN card. However, commenting out "device cbb" in my FreeBSD kernel results in a=20 non-working setup. By that, I mean that the card's lights never flicker as= =20 it's being inserted (as it would do under NetBSD and Linux when it's being= =20 probed). In fact, I get no debugging information at all, whether=20 from /var/log/messages or via dmesg.=20 Any ideas where I could go from here? =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --nextPart1740534.lvyCTVz7M9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQBCghML5sRg+Y0CpvERAohnAJ4o5WGcnwEeDCheQWwgo3hDlBhhjgCfTr+Q US1HSQy0uqVP4fXpa+R6Pns= =F+5Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1740534.lvyCTVz7M9--
