Subject:   Internal PCI modem lossage
Message-ID:  <199807302138.OAA18143@soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am having great difficulty getting FreeBSD to recognize my
internal "Rockwell HCF 56K DataFax PCI modem."  The last time
I ran FreeBSD or NetBSD was like 5 years ago or so, so I am
a little out of date as far as the intricacies of PCI cards,
PnP, and what not, go.  Looking at the modem config in win 98
tells me that the modem is using irq11 and i/o range 0x02f8, but
that there is some special DOS compat.  mode that makes it work
w/ irq3 and 0x02f8.  I have tried using the visual config. managaer
on bootup to assign sio1 to both irq3 and irq 11 to no success.
In either case it tells me that config'd irq11 is not in bitmap
of probed irqs.  Looking at the pci probes, it looks to me that the item
listed as pci0:3 is my modem, and it reports [no driver assigned].

Does anyone have any advice for getting this modem up and running?  Relevant
data follows below.  Should I go out and shell out for an external modem?
I never remember having any problems with any of my externel modems when
I ran FreeBSD.

Thanks for any help
