Try upgrading to 4.0-STABLE. There are great improvements in the PCMCIA code, though there's a lot more that we still need. > and the 3c590 Network Card works fine BUT I cannot get either of > these modems working - pccardc is useless & tells me I have 0 slots > - it wont read /etc/pccard.conf ( I tried roughing up an entry based > on a 56K Banksia entry & then discovered it wont read it!) Doesn't pccardc dumpcis do anything? If your Ethernet card is running, this points to a serious problem in pccardc.

I've never seen these cards, and, given the size of this mailing list (BUGA), you're not likely to find anybody who has. You'd have more success sending a question like this to FreeBSD-questions. But I've had these problems with other cards, and I solved them by: 1. pccardc dumpcis. For example, I have just inserted a cheap modem card in my laptop. pccardc tells me, amongst other things: Tuple #2, code = 0x15 (Version 1 info), length = 42 000: 05 01 43 49 52 52 55 53 20 4c 4f 47 49 43 20 35 010: 36 4b 20 20 4d 4f 44 45 4d 00 43 4c 2d 4d 44 35 020: 36 58 58 00 35 2e 34 31 00 ff Version = 5.1, Manuf = [CIRRUS LOGIC 56K MODEM], card vers = [CL-MD56XX] Addit. info = [5.41] 2. Find a similar entry in /etc/pccardc.conf: #Eiger 33.6 modem card "AT&T" "V34+ Fax Modem" config 0x23 "sio1" 10 insert echo Eiger 33.6K modem inserted remove echo Eiger 33.6K modem removed 3. Fake it by changing the strings in the "card" line to match the strings I found with dumpcis: # Grog's internal card "CIRRUS LOGIC 56K MODEM" "CL-MD56XX" config 0x23 "sio1" 3 insert echo Cirrus logic noname modem inserted remove echo Cirrus logic noname modem removed In this case, I also changed the IRQ to something that would work on my machine (from 10 to 3).
