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 media, 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 PCCARD-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. Just before the pccard deamon starts, I would see the machdep.pccard.mem_start value changing from something like 65360 to 85xxx. Later on I would see it again but from 85xxx to 85xxx (same value twice), rpobably from the entry I put in the sysctl.conf (machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd4000). It doesn't anymore, just says the 8xxxx to 8xxxx at the end... 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...
