The machine is an IBM Thinkpad A20m. After consulting the wi manpage I bought a DLINK DWL-650. When I insert the card I get the following message: wi0: at port 0x200-0x27f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. : init failed device_attach: wi0 attach returned 6 I searched Google and it seems there is a patch, but I did not see any confirmation that the patch fixed the problem. I did not try the patch to see if it works. I want something that works with a generic install. So I tried another card to see if that would work, I bought a Linksys WPC11 ver.4 (it is also on the list from man wi). However, this did not work either, and this is the message when the card is inserted: cardbus0: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: CardBus card activation failed I did not try to rebuild the kernel, as support is included in the GENERIC config file. Here are the relevent parts of the Kernel config file. # PCCARD (PCMCIA) support # PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support device cbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge device pccard # PC Card (16-bit) bus device cardbus # CardBus (32-bit) bus # Wireless NIC cards device wlan # 802.11 support device an # Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless NICs. device awi # BayStack 660 and others device wi # WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 wireless NICs. #device wl # Older non 802.11 Wavelan wireless NIC.
