I though of this a while ago and dismissed the idea for a couple of reasons: 1) I did not think PCI devices needed an IRQ assigned to them, they were supposed to autoconfigure. 2) The LINT kernel config file does not have any configuration information listed for the card or pcic controllers. 3) I did not bring this up for fear of confusing the issue but, the notebook has a port replicator that has two more PCCard slots. FreeBSD will find the second PCI bus and detect the second controller. pccardc can find these slots. The controller is identified at boot also as a 6729/30, but a different revision. I am reasonably sure FreeBSD cannot use both controllers at once, which is not what I want anyway. I want to be able to use the two slots internal to the notebook when it is not docked in the port replicator. For what it may be worth, here is the dmesg info when the notebook is docked in the port replicator: Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: ... chip2 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=123b subclass=4)> rev 0 on pci0:17:0 pcic0 <Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PC-Card Controller> rev 254 int a irq ?? on pci0:19:0 ... Probing for devices on PCI bus 1: pcic1 <Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PC-Card Controller> rev 238 int a irq ?? on pci1:10:0 ... PC-Card Cirrus Logic PD672X (5 mem & 2 I/O windows) pcic: controller irq 9 Initializing PC-card drivers: ed ep sio Please note, the second controller (pcic1) is found at IRQ 9 without being specifically configured. What bothers me is that the message third from the bottom of the list. It specifically says PD672X, no mention of the 6730. Which brings me back to the original question. Is the 6730 not properly supported by pccardd? I am not sure if the controller in the port replicator is a 6729 or a 6730, I do not have specific information regarding the hardware in the port replicator.
