Subject: Cannot configure Netgear FA410TX in Compaq Prosignia 150 Laptop


Greetings All,
 
I have been having a problem whereby I cannot make my NETGEAR FA410TX PCMCIA
NIC configure in my Compaq Prosignia 150 laptop. I have made the appropriate
changes to rc.conf, such as adding “pccard_enable=”YES” and the card is
recognized on boot, but no matter what I do I cannot get it to configure.
The card is always placed on IRQ 3 when pccardd recognizes it, which I
believe is causing an IRQ conflict with my CardBus to PCI bridge, which also
happens to make use of IRQ 3. I have made changes to /etc/pccard.conf such
that IRQ’s 3 and 5 are excluded from the distribution list, however pccardd
still allocates the card to IRQ 3 regardless of the IRQ list settings I
specify. I have read up on the list and seen this problem before, I have
tried a couple solutions, I even went as far as to use “pccardc enabler”
with a forced IRQ setting via the –i flag, the card still configs at IRQ3,
even when I tell it manually to use another IRQ such as 10.
 
I have also tried to get my Linksys PCMPC100V3 card to work, which is
supported in pccard.conf, yet I get the same problem. The card is
recognized, configured on IRQ 3 and then when I try to config it manually or
via DHCP I get the same error as I got above “/kernel ed: device timeout”.
 
If anyone can help I would appreciate that you would CC me in any and all
replies.
 
Thanks in Advance,
