I have a 3Com card and the problem I had on was finding a free IRQ. Don't let the driver "find one" on it's own. I set my printer to "polled" mode in the kernel and then set the 3Com card to IRQ 7 in the pccard.conf file. ..zp0 is no longer used. The next thing to look for is what slot is the card in? 0 or 1? In the pccard.conf file there are two insert references... be sure you are using the right one. If your not sure boot up with only one card in... the system will tell you which slot it found a card in (just incase your system doesn't label them as 0 and 1). Let me know how it goes... BTW...since you recompiled with the ep0 driver make sure your in the "0" slot... if not change slots(easier) or switch drivers to the ep1.

I have turned on pccardd in rc.conf, stripped pccard.conf down to just that entry, and recompiled the ep0 driver with the standard settings from the LINT configuration. pccardd notices when the card gets inserted, and finds the config entry in pccard.conf, but then says cardd: driver allocation failed for 3Com Corporation I'm somewhat confused by the fact that the kernel config entry for the PCMCIA Etherlink is zp0, not ep0. But with the zp0 driver, the same problem persists. Any help would be much appreciated. (Oh, this is 2.2.2-RELEASE.) -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
