Like Warner has mentioned your TI chip is not getting intiallized. Most desktop BIOS don't do this most laptops do. However, I have a ThinkPad i1482 at home (for the wife running Windows) and it doesn't initialize the TI 1410 in a sane way. That is it doesn't allocate and PCI memory etc. Also the 1410 only has one slot. Warner, we need to think about how to deal with one slot adapter. I've started to look at the code. As soon as I put in a card the machine hangs solid. Currently I have it in polling mode. I've played with it a bit and have tried to get some things to work and sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Fortunately USB works fine so I have an USB Ethernet adapter plugged into when I need it on the net. Does anyone know how the PCI mem attribute should be setup? I stole the value shown under Win98 and stuck it in there. Then I was able to read sane values for Cardbus Socket registers & ExCa. FreeBSD may have to set them up if the BIOS doesn't. Doug A.
