Hi,

I have got problems in trying to upgrade my mobile from FreeBSD 3.2 to 4.1.1.
The problem comes from getting my ethernet card work when booting on the
floppies (kern.flp and msfroot.flp).

My ethernet card is : 3com etherlink III pcmcia 3C589B adapter
My mobile is a Twinhead Slimnote VXe. It has 2 pcmcia slots.

Under FreeBSD 3.2 it works well. The boot messages are:

Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: chip4: <PCI to CardBus bridge (vendor=104c
device=ac1c)> rev 0x01 int a irq 255 on pci0.10.0
Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: chip5: <PCI to CardBus bridge (vendor=104c
device=ac1c)> rev 0x01 int a irq 255 on pci0.10.1
Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: ze: pcmcia slot 0: 3Com
Corporation~3C589~TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a~000002~
Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: ze: slot 1: no card in slot
Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: zp: found card in slot 0
Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: zp0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 maddr 0xd8000 on
isa
Oct 30 17:35:43 annie /kernel.prev: zp0: aui/bnc/utp address 00:20:af:c7:09:11


When I boot on the floppies of the 4.1.1 release, I got the following messages:

pcic-pci0: <TI PCI-1225 PCI-Cardbus Bridge> at device 10.0 pn pci0
pcic-pci0: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [ring enable][speaker enable][FUNC pci int +
CSC serial isa irq]
pcic-pci1: <TI PCI-1225 PCI-Cardbus Bridge> at device 10.1 pn pci0
pcic-pci1: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [ring enable][speaker enable][FUNC pci int +
CSC serial isa irq]

When I try to install with the installation menu, my card is detected but
I rapidly get a wrong beep saying that the card does not work correctly.
The message given on the crtl-f2 screen is :

pccard: card inserted slot0
DEBUG: Warning: Zero length name or value passed to
variable_set2(pccardd_flags)=
ep0: No irq?!

I have tried to look at the BIOS but it seems that I have no possibility 
to change the irq at the BIOS unless for COM1, COM2 and lpt ports.

Does anybody have this kind of hardware, this kind of troubles ?
Help is needed. Thanks.
