Hi all I've just installed FreeBSD-2.2.6-R on my laptoy, a AST Ascentia M. But... The pccard refuses to work. As usual, the pccard did work ok in windows95 so I know that the 3COM589D actually works. The pccard controller chip is a TI 1131. And the kernel reports it during boot. But later in boot, reports that "/dev/card0 Not configured". I have browsed 'all' the newsgrops articles since 1996 in this matter, but no solution so far. I have the PAO-kit installed and configured. The kernel tries to start the pccard but complains on the /dev/card0 device. It's there allright, I double checked and also did run MAKEDEV on the requested devices. I also ftp'ed home the PAO boot floppy, but still a complaint about the /dev/card0. I the desperation and despair of beeing without a network connection to my latop, I also installed Linux Redhat 5.0, and the linux kernel actually fires up the card, I can see on the tp-led that the card is started. ( Or at least have power. ) After the 'linux check', I reinstalled the FreeBSD, but with the same result as earlier. Even with the PAO boot floppy. So now I'm out of ideas and my last resort is this mail. If anyone have any ideas, pls mail me.
