Date: Thu, 30 Oct 1997 23:56:42 +0100 From: Bernd Rosauer Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I got some questions concerning how to configure the operation of a PCCARD modem. I am using a TP560, and my PCCARD modem is a ELSA MicroLink 33.6MC. The modem is one of Germany's best-selling PCCARD modems, but it cannot be found on PAO's SUPPORTED.CARDS list. I made pccardd recognize my modem card, i.e. the card's manufacturer and version, but I cannot set the config line for the card identifier. The index parameter refers to the card's configuration index which does not mean anything to me since I do not know anything about PCMCIA in general and CIS in particular. Is there a way to read out the various configuration indices of the card in order to determine the appropiate one? I would be happy if I could do that with UNIX software because I do not run DOS/Windows on any hard disk. The next point is how to choose the driver and the interrupt flag. In the kernel I configured sio0 at irq4 and sio1 at irq3. In /etc/pccard.conf.sample most entries for modems set the driver to sio2. Would that be ok for a TP560? I guess, then sio2 must be configured in the kernel. But will I need to use the irq which I set in the kernel configuration in the config line of /etc/pccard.conf, too? Would it be ok if the pccardd chooses another irq from the resource pool which was not specified by the kernel configuration? It seems to me that I suffer from a principal lack of understanding at this point. Is there any kind soul who could put me back on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Bernd
