Hi again, I'm trying to get a wireless card going in a desktop machine. The wireless card is a ORiNOCO Wireless LAN PC Card The PCI->PCMCIA controller has a texas instruments chip on it and appears to be made by Elan. I was receiving some assistance on this, but the trail seems to have gone cold. I'm reposting all of the information that I previously supplied in the hopes of someone being able to help me. The last request for information I got was to provide a full dmesg output. This dmesg output is now at http://www.penguinpowered.org.uk/dmesg.txt The hardware combo works under XP but does not work under FreeBSD 4.6 The pc card worked in the old ISA controller, but I recently had to replace my board and I could not find a motherboard with an ISA slot. When I boot the machine up, I get the following output: pccardd[46]: Card "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE") [Version 01.01] [] matched "Lucent Technologies" ("WaveLAN/IEEE") [(null)] [(null)] pccardd[46]: Using IO addr 0x240, size 64 pccardd[46]: Setting config reg at offs 0x3e0 to 0x41, Rest time = 50 ms pccardd[46]: Assigning I/O window 0, start 0x240, size 0x40 flags 0x5 pccardd[46]: Assign wi0, io 0x240-0x27f, mem 0x0, 0 byes, irq 5, flags 0 wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:02:a6:13 wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE wi0: Licent Firmware: Station 7.28.01 pccardd[46]: wi0: Lucent Technlogies (WaveLAN/IEEE) inserted. pccardd[46]: pccardd started This information became available when I set debuglevel in pccard.conf to 4. I am then able to assign and IP address to wi0 and set other options like network, etc using wicontrol. However when I do anything network related (ping, traceroute, etc) I get the following message: wi0: watchdog timeout The settings under XP are as follows: ORiNOCO Wireless LAN PC Card IRQ 5 I/O Range FF40-FF7F Texas Instruments PCI-1211 CardBus Controller (says Elan on card) Memory Range EF004000 - EF004FFF Memory Range FEBFF000 - FEBFFFFF Memory Range FABFF000 - FEBFEFFF I/O Range FE00 - FEFF I/O Range FD00 - FDFF IRQ 5 Memory Range 000DF000 - 000DFFFF I've tried both compiling the wi driver into the kernel and using it as a kernel module. The problem happens the same. I've recompiled the kernel and I have the following line for my pcic device in my kernel configuration file: device pcic0 at pci? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xdf0000 This iomem seems to be one of the ones XP is reporting as being in use for this device. I've also tried having the above line with at isa replacing at pci. I have found that IRQ 5 is used by the onboard usb controller, but even if I disable in the bios I still get this message popping up. -- - Wayne Pascoe - http://www.penguinpowered.org.uk/wayne/ Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
