I have been trying to install a Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE (Orinoco) =

pccard in my desktop BSD box. I am using the Lucent ISA-pccard =

adapter. I finally got BSD to recognize the PC card adapter. I =

recompiled the kernel with a new irq for pcic0 (11 instead of 10) and =

did a trial and error routine with the jumpers on the card. =


However, I plugged in the orinoco card, and the computer =

recognized it as wi0, but with an error message:
wi0: No irq?!
=2E.. uugate pccardd[48]: driver allocation failed for Lucent =

Technologies(WaveLAN/IEEE): Device not configured
I sometimes get a message: wi0: No I/O space!?

I inserted the orinoco card into the laptop we configured with Free =

BSD and got:
wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on =

pccard0
wi0: Ethernet address ...
So the card works fine with FreeBSD in a laptop, but it is not working =

with the ISA/pccard adapter.

By default, when pccardd is started at boot, it reads =

/etc/pccard.conf.sample. I created a new file, /etc/pccard.conf with =

only the general setting at the beginning of the file, and the WaveLAN =

settings:
debuglevel 99
io 0x280-0x360
irq 3 5 9 =



I have tried a variety of irq settings and a variety of base addresses, =

but I am never able to get past the error.

Any suggestions?
