hi, fist something about my sytem:
Vendor: Fujitsu Siemens Model: Lifebook B2130 CPU: Intel Celeron 400MHz mobile Chipset: Intel 443MX RAM: 192M (64M builtin, 128M additional) HD: 20GB Network: Intel EtherExpress 100 Modem: Lucent LT Winmodem 56k PCMCIA: RL5C475 CardBus OS: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p4 the problem: i have two wireless nic's. one lucent-orinoco and one avaya. both cards should be supported by the wi driver. but if i insert these cards, i only get "wi0 init failed" (three times) and "wi0 mac read failed" (three times). here is a short excerpt of the logs: --- wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x8000 wi0: init failed wi0: init failed wi0: init failed wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 wi0: mac read failed 5 wi0: mac read failed 5 wi0: mac read failed 5 device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach failed 5 --- i searched with google but the only thing i found was the information, that "init failed" means, that the initialization of the card was not succesful. also i tried the debug sysctl switches, but it gives no information about this problem. i tried a non wireless nic with the same kernel and it works without problems. card was found and initialized without any errors. next i tried the wireless cards on a FreeBSD-4.7 system, and the init process there was succesful. now i've recompiled my kernel with an OLDCARD config style. and surprise, the cards are working, without problems. so i searched the docs, and the source, but there i found nothing about problems with the wi driver and "NEWCARD". can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this problem, because i need the 32-bit cardbus support for other cards. thanks in advance regards Joerg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
