It appears that many PCMCIA network cards no longer work in FreeBSD - this is documented here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=115623 However there appears to be a workaround, wherein one sets their hw.cbb.start_memory value manually. Suggested values for xircom cards are: sysctl hw.cbb.start_memory=0xf4800000 sysctl hw.cbb.start_memory=0x30000000 However, neither of these values work for me, and I continue to get this kind of error: dc1: No station address in CIS! etc. I am happy to use this workaround, I just wonder how do I determine the proper value for this sysctl ? My xl0 network interface works, and I see that its settings are: port 0xec80-0xecff mem 0xf8fffc00-0xf8fffc7f How do I compute the proper sysctl setting for my xircom realport cards ? (I have two of them to insert simultaneously) Thanks.
