My i think i have had the same problem. I have a no-name card which presents itself as IC-CARD IC-CARD, but some of the drivers on the disk refer to the DE-650 so i suppose it is almost a clone. This card (at least mine) does not have auto media select, and defaults to using the UTP media. There is a dos/windows program which allows you to set the media. It is fairly short (about 1KB) so i am looking at it. All it seems to do is toggle one bit in some of the card's registers. However, it appears to do it in a fairly complicated way, by banging bits in some of the PCIC register. Maybe some of this functionality is already duplicated in pccardc/pccardd but i am not (yet) familiar with this code... so, our only option thus far is to switch to windows, run the program, and hope that the configuration is persistent :) cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
