I have a Compaq Presario 1700 laptop, with a 3Com OfficeConnect PCMCIA card (3c572). I have two HDDs. The one is an 18Gb drive that used to live in a different laptop. It contains FreeBSD 4-S, last cvsupped about three months ago. If I use this drive, the PCMCIA card is detected and works. The other drive is a 10Gb drive that has FreeBSD 4-S cvsupped a few days back. The kernel config file is identical to the older one, and so is the pccard.conf file. The relevant device should be "ep". With this drive installed, the network card doesn't work. If I run pccardd with -d and -v options, I see: Read returns -1 bytes (expected 2) pccardd: CIS code read: Device not configured Read returns -1 bytes (expected 10) No card in database for "(null)"("(null)") The weird thing is that this used to work - that was how I did the cvsup the other day. The problem isn't hardware; the same card in the same laptop works fine if I boot MS-Windows. I must be missing something; what is it?? thanks gram To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
