Subject:   Dell c600 Orinoco WaveLAN problems (4.4-STABLE)

Hi,

I have recently installed and upgraded FreeBSD onto my Dell c600.  I 
updated to 4.4-STABLE on Tuesday (10/06/2001), and I'm seeing problems 
getting my wireless card to work.

This is what I've seen:

If I insert the card in a plain setup with pccardd running, it picks up 
the card being inserted (with a nice beep) and detects the card as 
"Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE" - which as far as I know is 
correct.  The lights on the card then continuously flash.

If I use the settings from here:

http://www.psg.com/~randy/dell/

With these the card is picked up and I get several different messages:

"general protection fault"
"panic"
"timeout in wi_seek to 5a15/0 last status 4000"

the errors do not seem to be consistent and all result in either the 
machine hanging or prompting for a reboot.  I've also seen intermittent 
flashing of the lights on the card at the point of freezing. And without 
the pccard_mem setting in rc.conf from the above page I get:

ioctl (PIOCRWMEM):invalid arguement

The card is an Orinoco - a Lucent Technologies PC24E-H-ET, it has worked 
in a windows environment.

I have tried the kernel flags pointed out in the 4.4-RELEASE release 
notes, but they result in total failure to detect the card and a total 
freeze.

Can anyone help? (below is uname and dmesg output)

Thanks in advance,
Alex
