Hi,
I am very new to FreeBSD. So, please pardon me if my questions are too
trivial or have been asked before. I am trying to use a Cisco Aironet 350
Series WLAN client adapter on a desktop with a PCMCIA slot running FreeBSD
4.4. I noticed that my pccard.conf file only had an entry for the 340 series
card. Based on suggestions from a FreeBSD site, I changed the 340 to 350 in
the /etc directory and now the machine finds a match for the card and says
"pccardd started" upon reboot. However, it does say "Failed to allocate IRQ
for Cisco Systems". How do I allocate an IRQ for the device? Currently, my
/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file has an IRQ 0 entry for the PCMCIA card. I
figured this should be ok to use any available IRQ. However, it certainly
does not seem to work. 
 
Also, I am unable to execute any ifconfig or ancontrol commands on the WLAN
interface. No interface "anX" is listed. There is a pcic0 that is listed
against the PCMCIA support, but then that does not seem to be an interface.
When I try "ancontrol -i an0 -S", it says "ancontrol: SIOCGAIRONET: Device
not configured". 
 
I have the following lines included in the rc.conf file:
 
pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_mem="0xd0000"
pccard_ifconfig="inet 10.10.10.59 netmask 255.255.255.0"
 
Any ideas on how I might be able to get this to work? 
 
Thanks,
Vidya
