I can get it to "beep" when I insert a WaveLAN card, and spit out an error message to the effect of "driver allocation failed for Lucent Technologies." Can anyone point me to a resource on getting this card running? If there isn't one out there, and anyone is interested in helping me directly, following is some info you might need. Thanks! -Avram Here's what I've done to my kernel to get this running: controller card0 device pcic0 at card? device pcic1 at card? #device ze0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 #device zp0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 device wi0 at isa? port? net irq ? and here's what I'm using for a pccardd.conf: # Generally available IO ports io 0x240-0x360 # Generally available IRQs (Built-in sound-card owners remove 5) irq 3 10 11 13 15 # Available memory slots memory 0xd4000 96k # Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE" config 0x1 "wi0" ? insert logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE inserted insert /etc/pccard_ether $device remove logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE removed remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Halliday" To: "Avram Dorfman" Cc: Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2000 12:25 AM Subject: Re: getting isa pccard reader working > > > > Avram Dorfman wrote: > > > > $ uname -a > > FreeBSD laser2.est.org 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #2: Tue Sep 19 > > 08:58:44 EDT 1995 > > root@laser2.est.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/G-PPP-FW i386 > > Hello, > > > > If you can't help me with this, can you possibly point me to someone > > who might? > > > > I'm trying to get an ISA PC card reader working, and FreeBSD > > identifies it as > > > > unknown0: at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0 > > > > The card is an SCM SwapBox 2 slot Cardbust compliant ISA card whith a > > 3.5" card reader module.
