I am currently trying to install FreeBSD on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. The
configuration was going well but when I try to configure (i.e. run pccardd) the
wireless network card (SMC 2632W), the system hangs up. At one point, the card was
working but when trying to configure the XWindows interface, everything went haywire
so I blew away the BSD install and reinstalled. I have done a deinstall/reinstall
several times and still the same result. I know the card works because I installed
Windows 2000 Server after experiencing this problem and everything with the card
worked fine. Do I need a package for the SMC card? Possible IRQ conflict? Any help
or insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Results of pccardd:
Aug 1 18:33:28 pccardd[149]: Card "SMC"("SMC2632W") [Version 01.02] [] matched
"SMC" (SMC2632W") [)null)] [(null)]
wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
At this point the machine hangs...
