Since you don't seem to be getting an answer from anyone more
knowledgeable, just a brief comment:
This controller isn't in even PAO's list of supported ones. What he says
about that is:
---
If your PC Card controller is not supported, please contact me
(hosokawa@jp.FreeBSD.org) or BSD-nomads team
(bsd-nomads@clave.gr.jp).
I need following information to hack the chip:
o The name of the PC Card controller of your
machine. (e.g. Cirrus Logic 6832).
o PCI device ID of PC Card controller (If your PC Card
controller is PCI - PC Card bridge or PCI - CardBus
bridge).
-----
Also you should realize that the IRQ, memory address, and I/O port used by
FreeBSD will most likely NOT resemble that used by Windows.
I have a Presario 1610 with a PCI-1131 controller. Win95 sees it on IRQ
9, memory CC000 - CDFFF. FreeBSD sees it as IRQ 11, memory D0000 - ?, I/O
3E0.
I've only had mine working for a week or so and I'm a newbie at FreeBSD,
so I don't feel qualified to comment further. I fumbled around for a week
or so and don't remember exactly what I did to get it working. At one
point I wiped my entire partition clean and started over. It wasn't until
I put PAO in, and got it to patch and compile without errors that it
worked.
My device lines (unmodified, I think) are like:
device pcic0 at isa? port 0x3e0 irq 11
device pcic0 at isa? port 0x3e4 irq 11
Then later, for my NIC:
device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
I can't pretend to know what I'm doing, but it works finally.
