I am attempting to configure a couple of pccards on a DELL Inspiron 3500 running FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE. Neither card works: 1) The first card is some sort of DVD/MPEG-2 decoder card. It seems to be called a "DELL Margi". Whenever the card is inserted and pccardd is running, the entire system hangs so hard that console I/O no longer works. Even ctl-alt-del is ignored. The power button is ignored. I have to turn the machine off by poking a special hidden recessed button on the side with a paper clip. I don't expect to find a FreeBSD driver for this card, but I would prefer that having it physically installed didn't hang the system. 2) The second card is a "DELL 10/100 LAN+56K Modem CardBus by 3Com". A label on the back of the card says "Model 3CCFEM656". The command "pccardc dumpcis" reports: Configuration data for card in slot 1 Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 I assume that pccardd cannot recognize and configure cards without configuration data. Is this card broken in some sense? Can anyone recommend a driver?
