The problem is : that when I try to do it with : /stand/sysinstall->configure->networking->interfaces the interface : wi0 is not shown. I've tried to configure directly in : rc.conf but it doesnt work. : When I try to run pccardd it prints: : pccard[301]:fatal error: no PC-CARD slots : It seems like there isnt any slot on... I dont know. Could : you help me?? : : Regards : Ana- This is usually the sign of either an irq conflict, i/o memory conflict (pcic vs certain newer video subsystems .. ATI Rage based ones), or both ... without some knowlege of what is there, it is difficult to help. Things that would be useful, would include /var/run/dmesg.boot relevant parts of the kernel.. If you have a newer laptop with a Rage based card in it, add pccard_mem="0xd8000" to your /etc/rc.conf. If it is an irq conflict (likely), the pcic must either be in polling mode (irq 0) or have a totally free irq for both the pcic _and_ the card. It helps to know what irq's are available to the system, for two reasons: 1) to set the irq for the pcic in the kernel config 2) to modify the irq line in /etc/pccard.conf or to pass free irqs to pccardd via an entry in /etc/rc.conf like pccardd_flags="-i N -i M -i P" where N, M, P are all known free irqs. Also, 4.0 is a pretty old and many improvements to the pccard support have been added since then. You might be better served using -stable (4.2-STABLE at the moment).
