What's the full relevant output from the kernel for this? Does it try to assign resources to the card? Do you have a spare sio device in the kernel? If you do have an sio to spare, the problem is likely that the default configuration entry is conflicting with some other device in your system. The dumpcis output indicates that 0x20, 0x21, 0x22, and 0x23 are valid configs, so try each of these as the first parameter for the relevant config line in pccard.conf. Make sure you don't have an irq conflict with anything (builtin sound, perhaps) too. -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
