I had been happily running FreeBSD-4.6 on my IBM Thinkpad R31 since last July when I decided to install 4.8. I had been using an Orinoco Gold wireless card under 4.6, and now not only won't this card work under 4.8, I can't get any PCMCIA cards to work! I've tested four different cards I borrowed from a co-worker, and I see the same behavior no matter what card I test in the slot. Whether or not I have any card installed in a slot, these messages are logged every few minutes: May 11 23:07:31 playboy /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 May 11 23:07:42 playboy /kernel: pccard: card removed, slot 0 May 11 23:08:25 playboy /kernel: pcic0: Card type unrecognized by bridge is unsupported May 11 23:08:31 playboy last message repeated 3 times May 11 23:15:06 playboy /kernel: pcic0: Card type none (can't happen) is unsupported May 11 23:18:16 playboy /kernel: pcic0: Card type none (can't happen) is unsupported May 11 23:21:38 playboy /kernel: pcic0: Card type none (can't happen) is unsupported These messages were logged with nothing at all installed in the pccard slots. In fact, pccardd wasn't even running. The same messages are logged whether or not it is running. I also see this message repeatedly logged: May 11 13:00:38 playboy /kernel: pcic0: Card type 32-bit cardbus is unsupported (Note that my card is not cardbus, it is a 16-bit PC Card. I confirmed this by looking at the printed stats on the card.) I have tried to investigate with a card installed in one slot. I used the pccardc command to give power to the card, then asked for it to dump its CIS. Here is the result of that: playboy% pccardc dumpcis 0 Configuration data for card in slot 0 Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 1 slots found This looks to me like it is finding no data. I have tried both the GENERIC kernel and the custom kernel I compiled for my laptop. I didn't see any unusual or new pccard options in GENERIC or in LINT. It seems to me that PC Card functionality is now broken. Can anyone confirm this? Do I have any option but to reinstall FreeBSD-4.6 to get it back? If this is a bug, how/where do I report it? I'm happy to send along any helpful config files or log messages from my laptop. Thanks very much for any help. __ Peggy Wilkins mozart@lib.uchicago.edu Sr. System Administrator sysadmin@lib.uchicago.edu Digital Library Development Center The University of Chicago Library
