I am not on the list, so I am hoping any answers will also get send to
me at joe@about-inc.com.
I am running FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE (#0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000
jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386), on an old Sony
Viao laptop PCG-748, trying to get my Lucent WaveLAN 802.11 gold PCMCIA
network card running. It appears in the output of 'ifconfig', but only
as an ethernet address. I can type 'ifconfig wi0 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask
0xffffff00', and then more than just the ethernet address will appear in
ifconfig, but still no connection through the interface.
I've never successfully gotten a NIC to run from this laptop. The other
card I tried (the infamous "NetGEAR FA410TX") I gave up on because I had
the older version that wasn't compatible. So, I tried a buddies
WaveLAN, because it was listed as supported and most people say it works
just fine, but to no avail. Can someone point me in the right
direction? I have the output of dmesg, plus the overrides in
/etc/rc.conf. The config files use the defaults found in fBSD4.2R. The
order of information that follows : dmesg, rc.conf, pccard.conf.
The following is from dmesg:
pcic0: <Intel i82365> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 on isa0
pcic0: Polling mode
pccard0: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0
pccard1: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0
pccard: card inserted, slot 1

Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE") [Version 01.01] [] matched "Lucent

/etc/defaults/pccard.conf :

# Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi" 11
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
NOTE: I have used the line 'config 0x1 "wi" ?' as well in the above
pccard.conf file. Nothing seems to work.
Is there someone out there who has encountered the same "problem" of not
having the WaveLAN interface available? Can you point me in th right
direction?
THANKS!
