executive summary: - my laptop works perfectly when i boot w2k, with either of 2 pccards. - freebsd 4.0-RELEASE gives me transmit timeouts (yes i hardbooted) - files at http://www.discerning.com/fbsdhell a month or so back i posted on my problems getting a d-link (ed) card to work on my laptop (a "chembook" pentium) running 4.0-release (straight from CD). sean o'connell was very helpful offline, but all we could achieve, even with a rebuilt kernel and hacking of pccard.conf and rc.conf was that it could detect inserts (and lights would show up). but i still couldn't ping anyone, and was getting "ed0: device timeout". i let the project sit for a while til i had another card handy (this is not my primary computer). i just tried the wavelan pccard, following darryl okahata's directions exactly. same rough behavior: with GENERIC or with the kernel configured as per darryl's directions (plus sean's for other entries), it detects card insert/removal, and lights come on, but i get "wi0: device timeout" and "wi0: tx buffer allocation failed". with GENERIC, it wouldn't detect card insert/removal. i tried changing memory from 0xd0000 to 0xdc000 and faithfully made the change in the kernel config, and in pccard.conf ("memory") and in rc.conf ("pccard_mem") (is this stuff getting fixed?) but got the same thing. you can see dmesg for the d-link card, a dmesg for the wavelan card (generic or custom) and some conf files and config files at: http://www.discerning.com/fbsdhell don't take the conf files verbatim; they were copied at different times -- the commented lines will show you the kinds of things i've been fooling with. any ideas? just come back in a few months with 5.0 and newcard? -mda To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
