Greetings everyone:

	Has anyone managed to get either the Linksys PCM200 v2 or the
NetGear FA511 Cardbus PCMCIA 10/100 NIC cards running under a recent
-current?  I've tried both cards on the JP August 18, 2002 -current
snapshots but they seem to show the following:

Linksys PCM200 v2
cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xff
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=100
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=400
cardbus0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1737, dev=0xab09) at 0.0 irq 11
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

NetGear FA311
cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xff
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=100
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=400
cardbus0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1317, dev=0x1985) at 0.0 irq 11
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

	When I tried the 3COM 3CXFEM656C 10/100 Ethernet + 56k modem combo
card, the card would recognize but will result in xl0: watchdog timeout
as soon as I add the IP address.
If I hotswapped cards, this is what it would say:

xl0: no memory for list buffers!
device_probe_and_attach: xl0 attach returned 6
Product version: 5.0
Product name: 3Com Corporation | 3CXFEM656C-MDM | MDM | 1 |

CIS reading done

cardbus0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x10b7, dev=0x6565) at 0.1 irq 11
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed


	The only card I successfully got working is the Efficient
Networks/Siemens SpeedStream 1012 CardBus which identifies as:

cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xff
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=100
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=400
dc0: <Accton EN2242 MiniPCI 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem
0x88000000-0x880003ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
dc0: Ethernet address: 00:30:f1:2d:77:f1
miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

	The only thing I noticed is that when I do ftp filetransfers at
100Mbps FullDuplex via a HP ProCurve swtich with a Windows machine, it the
ftp was done on the Windows XP Pro machine, it would max out at 2.4Mbps
while ftping on the FreeBSD machine to the Windows XP Pro machine, it
would max out at 48Mbps. dc0 seems to give the following messages on the
console:

dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state
dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold
dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold
dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold
dc0: TX underrun -- using store and forward mode

	I also noticed with both the 3Com and the SpeedStream, it would
have the following message...

/usr/src/sys/vm/uma_core.c:1332: could sleep with "dc0" locked from
/usr/src/sys/pci/if_dc.c:609
/usr/src/sys/vm/uma_core.c:1332: could sleep with "dc0" locked from
/usr/src/sys/pci/if_dc.c:609

	Except with the 3Com, it would say xl0 and if_xl.c instead.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
