I've been working on getting FreeBSD running smoothly on this particular model, and two things are hanging me up at the moment. First, this model depends on PCMCIA ethernet cards for network access, and neither 4.4-STABLE nor 5.0-CURRENT from my research seem to support the O2Micro PCCARD controller on this machine. I'm wondering if there is any progress in this regard, or if I've missed something important that will let it run. Current symptoms include; Device pcic is detected as an O2Micro OZ6812 Cardbus controller, with the warning "this may not work". pccardd detects the insertion of a DLink DE-660 PCMCIA 16 bit card, reads MAC, etc. The interface can be manually given an IP, and responds to ping. Use of dhclient causes the kernel message 'device timeout' to appear repeatedly until dhclient is killed. Any other sort of network access does the same. Second issue, more minor but a hangup nonetheless: System boots, gets to USB root hub, hangs on the message "SMM not responding, resetting". I had to install FreeBSD from another notebook computer and reconfigure it without USB support to get around this. Both these problems are documented at some amount of length or brevity on the mailinglists, but I couldn't locate a PR on either of them - if they could be pointed out be someone who knows, I'd appreciate it. This is a pretty common series of notebook computer where I'm at, so some indication of progress on hardware support for it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, the system boots once properly configured and runs without flaw. Video, sound and parallel work well. I'd appreciate any input or pointers to previous posts on this matter, thanks!
