When I put the card in on my 5.2rc1 laptop it told me card unsuported. I looked arround on the Internet and found my card had a prism3 chipset, good but bad. Since the name of the card, when read by pccardd, is a little different I put the card in my 4.9 laptop and added a line to /etc/pccard.conf. When the card went in the wi driver was loaded, but this came up: : : pccard: card inserted, slot 0 : pccardd[42]: Card "D-Link"("DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP" : ) [ISL37101P-10] [A3] matched "D-Link" (DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP") [(null) : ] [(null)] : wi0 at port 0x280-0x2ff irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 : wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0000 : wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. : wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. : wi0: init failed : wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. : wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. : wi0: mac read failed 5 : device_probe_and attach: wi0 attach returned 5 : /kernel: stray irq 3 : pccardd[42]: driver allocation failed for D-Link(DWL-650 W : ireless PC Card RevP): Input/output error : : Warner, : : The help you give the people on this list is excelent. Thank you for : sharing your wide knowledge. Return it!!! I banged my head against the wall w/that card. It is indeed a prism3. However, when I did some digging in the Linux mailing lists, I found out that it loads it's firmware via serial eeprom when the card is initialized. Those guys are still working on getting that part working. From what digging around I did, I didn't see any support for such operations in FreeBSD. --Jerry -- "In Jersey anything's legal, as long as you don't get caught" -- The Travelling Wilburys 'Tweeter And The Monkeyman'
