In message <3A5D3979.C0B0D2EF@babbleon.org> The Babbler writes: : However, we can't really get that far because the second card (whichever : one it is) refuses to configure becuase of a "resource conflict." I : found the card data base (pccard.conf) and updated it so that I specify : explicit IRQs that dont' conflict. (I booted Linux and picked the IRQs : that it uses); however, it still says that there is a resource conflict. : The message isn't specific, but there doesn't seem to be any way to : configure : the memory range, so I'm guessing that's the conflict. Any ideas? Yes. Classic problem with pccardd. You need to have two config lines to make this work. Eg: # No-brand NE2000 compatible card (FCC ID: LXLC1LANTB) card " " "Ethernet Combo card" config 0x1 "ed" ? 0x10 config 0x2 "ed" ? 0x10 logstr "NE2000 compatible card" insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop Where 01 and 02 are valid config entries that you got from pccardc dumpcis. : PROBLEM #2: On my "main" machine, I have a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 + : 56K card. I made a first stab at creating the PC Card entry for this, : but my first try didn't work. Linux says it's NE2000 compatible, but : then it says the same thing about every PCMCIA NIC I've ever tried. : Anyway, any ideas about how to go about this? Is there doc on how to : write : a new pccard.conf entry (that is, how to figure out the proper : parameters) : that I might have missed? Generally speaking, combination cards like this don't (yet) work on FreeBSD. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
