Has anybody got the ep0 driver to work under FreeBSD 2.2.6/PAO on a Toshiba 440CDT laptop? My 3c589D card refuses to be recognized, although my Adaptec SlimSCSI card is probed and started just fine. And it's not a hardware problem: the zp0 driver in a non-PAO kernel can find and use the 3com card without any trouble. I've tried a range of IRQ values; currently I have settled on IRQ 7 and port 0x300. (The lpt0 driver was disabled.) This matches the settings specified in my kernel config file. Here's /etc/pccard.conf: # 3Com Etherlink III 3C589D card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D" config 0x1 "ep0" 7 insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete # Adaptec SlimSCSI (also included with Sony CD-ROM players) card "Adaptec, Inc." "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter" config 0x9 "aic0" 10 insert echo Adaptec Slim SCSI inserted remove echo Adaptec Slim SCSI removed The bootup message is: pccardd[36]: Resource allocation failure for 3Com Corporation Running `pccardc enable 0 ep0 -i 7` gives me the message: ep0: failed to come ready Sometimes I also get: ep0: eeprom failed to come ready Oddly, sometimes my heroics can bring the interface up (i.e., dozens of inserts/removes, running pccardc many times from the command line, switching back and forth between slot 0 and slot 1, trying combinations of IRQs and ports, etc.), although the interface then is extremely slow (i.e., at best, a few thousand characters per second). I've never been able to isolate the particular sequence of events that brings it up, and it's not a long-term solution anyway, since it takes like ten minutes of fiddling before it'll happen. Any help greatly appreciated. -David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
