Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting a MICROCOM, Inc. TRAVELCARD FAST 28.8
DATA/FAX MODEM to work. 

The basic hardware is a Compaq LTE Elite 4/50CX with a VLSI chip pcic
controller. The pcic is set up to use irq 9. 

The following is the /etc/pccard.conf file I set up:

-------- start /etc/pccard.conf --------
# Generally available IO ports
io      0x240-0x360
# Generally available IRQs (Built-in sound-card owners remove 5)
# sio0 and sio1 not found, therefore irqs 3 and 4 are free.
irq     3 4 5 15
# Available memory slots
memory  0xd4000  96k

# Microcom TravelCard FAST 28.8 data/fax modem
card "MICROCOM, Inc." "TRAVELCARD FAST 28.8 DATA/FAX"
        config  0x32 "sio2" 15
        insert  echo Microcom TravelCard FAST 28.8 inserted
        remove  echo Microcom TravelCard FAST 28.8 removed
--------  end /etc/pccard.conf  --------

The results of pccardc dumpcis are shown in an attachment.

The first strange thing is that if I add MODEM to the end of the device
identifier string, as it is reported from dumpcis, then I get the
following output from pccardd -d: 

Mar  9 14:11:55 mediateket pccardd[228]: No card in database for "MICROCOM, Inc.
"("TRAVELCARD FAST 28.8 DATA/FAX")

If I remove the MODEM part, ie. use /etc/pccard.conf as shown above, I am
granted with the following: 

Mar  9 14:13:27 mediateket /kernel: Map I/O 0x3e8 (size 0x8) on Window 0
Mar  9 14:13:27 mediateket pccardd[230]: driver allocation failed for MICROCOM,
Inc.
Mar  9 14:13:27 mediateket pccardd[230]: pccardd started

Windows gives as it's identifier
PCMCIA\MICROCOM__INC.-TRAVELCARD_FAST_28.8_DATA/FAX_MODEM-2288

The UART is described as NS1655AN.

I've tried other sio/irq/port address values, but to no avail. I've also
MAKEDEV'd the necessary /dev/cuaa2 and put in /dev/ttyd2 for good luck. 
I've just sent out another message to freebsd-hardware about a
non-functional sio0 port (in FreeBSD, not Windows95). Could this be
related? 

I'm using slot 0, as slot 1 doesn't work under FreeBSD. I perused the
sources, and it seems this is due to the VLSI chip used, if I'm not wrong. 

By the way: what's the rule for using the pccard modems on already
configured sio devices? Say I've got both sio0 and sio1 as physical ports
on the machine. Can these be disabled by FreeBSD (or only BIOS)  to allow
the pccard to use eg. sio1? Or don't I have to disable them, or what? 

Also: Is it safe to use irq 15 as shown above? The second wd controller is
not disabled in bios, but _is_ disabled in FreeBSD. IIRC the bios doesn't
allow me to disable the controller. 

I'd be grateful for all and any hints and advice.

Thanks in advance,

Are Bryne
