I've checked all my configs (please see > below) and can't find a reason why. Do you get the watchdog timeouts continuously, or just a couple when the card first comes up (that's almost normal behaviour)? If the card otherwise works normally I'd be inclined to let it be... This thing about Xircom cards preferring IRQ 10 & 11 is something of a myth; try whatever free IRQs you've got and see if any of them work. Not sure if this will make any difference (probably not), but you might want to try assigning an IRQ to your PCCARD controller, which is running in the default polling mode according to your dmesg. I believe you need to put a line machdep.pccard.pcic_irq=<whatever> in /boot/loader.conf HTH, Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" scott.mitchell@mail.com | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
