While not easy, I got it to work under 4.5, and later 4.6 by setting it to PCIC-complaint under the BIOS (instead of 16bit mode), using IRC 10 and putting machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd0000 in sysctl.conf. I always got a few Watchdog timeouts on starting up and when the card had to autonegoiate the medium, but it worked. Now, I upgraded to FreeBSD 4.7, and the card has stopped working :-( Tried everything in the book (I think) to get it working again, but to no avail. It doesn't crash FreeBSD anymore like when for using 16bit mode in the BIOS and a shared IRQ 11, however it just doesn't to work. The connection LED goes on, but the receive LED never blinks, EVER. After a few second, a watchdog timeout occurs and the connections LED goes out and on again. I did notice a difference between 4.5 / 4.6 and 4.7. When issueing the machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd0000, the dmesg used to indicate that it changed that value from something like 65xxx to 8xxxx. It doesn't anymore, just says 8xxxx to 8xxxx (where both 8xxxx are the same). Any idea's / suggestions? My guess is, that everything is OK (no IRC confilicts etc) , except for the place in memory that is used for the driver...
