Up to a certain point (4.1 or so) it was possible to get a WL200 (which is
a WL100 wireless pcmcia with a PD6729 pcmcia<->pci bridge afaik) to work
on FreeBSD.

In 4.7 and -CURRENT it consistently will either hang at boot, hang after
detection or not function, whilst emmitting wi0 watchdog timeout and init
attempts.

I noticed that there is now a new

	hw.pcic.pd6729_intr_path

I assume this is identical to hw.pcic.intr_path but specific to this
bridge ?

Secondly - does anyone have a config which works for 4.7 or -CURRENT
with the WL200 ? Or hints on BIOS settings.

We tried combinations of:
->	BIOS - plug and play - always set to no
	PCI	 AUTO
		assign to specific IRQ
	ISA 	auto
		matchin manual assign on PCI slot
->	pccard.conf was updated to match above.
->	loader.conf: hw.pcic:
	->	ignore_function_1	yes/no
		init_path		any 0 caused an early hang
		pd6729_int_path		0,2 hang, 1 boot through
	->	irq			polling or manual to mach bios.

Old functional config on 4.1:
	hw.pcic.intr_path=1
	hw.pcic.irq=0
	hw.pcic.ignore_function_1=1

Any suggestions of what to try ? Or what dmesg/info to provide to dig
deeper into this ?
