The same grief also occured under 4.5-STABLE. The first time the card is installed (or when the machine is booted with the card in it), you get this (acompanied by a bad-sounding PCMCIA type noise): Jul 26 22:46:18 mordac pccardd[46]: Card "Cabletron"("RoamAbout 802.11 DS") [Version 01.01] [] matched "Cabletron" ("RoamAbout 802.11 DS") [(null)] [(null)] Jul 26 22:46:23 mordac pccardd[46]: driver allocation failed for Cabletron(RoamAbout 802.11 DS): Device not configured You then remove the card: Jul 26 22:52:07 mordac pccardd[46]: wi0: Cabletron (RoamAbout 802.11 DS) removed ... and reinsert it: Jul 26 22:52:57 mordac pccardd[46]: Card "Cabletron"("RoamAbout 802.11 DS") [Version 01.01] [] matched "Cabletron" ("RoamAbout 802.11 DS") [(null)] [(null)] wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: [address] wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE ei0: Lucent Firmware: Station 6.04.01 Jul 26 22:53:02 mordac pccardd[46]: wi0: Cabletron (RoamAbout 802.11 DS) inserted. and it works fine. But it /always/ fails the first time. It's driving me to distraction.. Another annoyance is that in an ifconfig the wi0 device /always/ shows "status: no carrier" even when it's talking happily with an access point.. If anyone has any words of wisdom on these points I'd appreciate hearing them : ) Thanks Dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
