Configure it correctly :-). We're working on making it easier to configure, but right now it is a bit of a pain. Most of the pain is well documented in the archives. : Is there a way to see what is using 0xd0000 area or a way to make pccardd : use high memory? No. There's no way to know for sure if something is in use or not, but you can make a good guess. Do a dd bs=4096 skip=208 count=1 | hexdump and see what you get. If it is in use, then you'll see lots of random values, if not, you'll see all 0xff typically (or 0x00). If it is in use, you'll need to adjust two values. The first one is the pccard_mem=0xd8000 in /etc/rc.conf. You'll also need to ensure that the io ranges, memory ranges and especially IRQs are really free in /etc/pccard.conf (note, not /etc/default/pccard.conf). If you've not setup /etc/pccard.conf, you'll need to do that, but that's easy. Likely somethign like # Generally available IO ports io 0x300-0x360 # Generally available IRQs (Built-in sound-card owners remove 5) irq 10 11 # Available memory slots memory 0xdc000 16k would do the trick. However, the actual values may vary with laptops. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
