dear list-users,

i currently changed my laptop modell due to age issues. i'm
satisfied with it ("bios0: Sony Corporation VGN-FS295XP",
which is a vaio) as well as with openbsd (4.1-release
as you might notice). one problem, though, that i'm confronted
with now, is wireless lan. but this is not a question referring
to this topic. the problem is, that openbsd neither is able to work
with the builtin wlan hardware, nor with its cardbus device.

while i was browsing the internet for a solution to at least one
of the problems - which would be enough for me, since i own a pcmcia
wlan adapter that works just fine with openbsd -, i found that
the iwi0 (wlan adapter) problem was not about to be solved. indeed
it seemed to me, that its crux is not even identified. (a general
impression may be:
http://archive.openbsd.nu/?ml=openbsd-tech&a=2006-08&t=2298124)
anyway, i myself couldn't. it looks like it's a vaio specific issue,
since the iwi driver (+ firmware) works for others, who don't use
this (laptop) modell. so i hoped to get at least my cardbus device
running.

the problem with cardbus (here: cbb0) _seems_ to me to be the
following: "The BIOS does not include the cardbus controllers
in the PCI IRQ routing table (...)".
(http://www.gratisoft.us/ftp/pub/todd/OpenBSD/srx77/cardbus.diff).
"cbb0 at pci2 dev 3 function 0 "TI PCI7420 CardBus" rev
0x00pci_intr_map: no mapping for pin A" appears to match this.
it existed for another (elder) modell of the vaio product line
and the given address provides a "horrible hack". this hack though
would suffice my needs and i guess it would be possible (for me)
to reproduce this for my platform if i was to find the necessary
addresses and parts of code where to fill in, of which the latter
might be done by myself; the first if instructed. so the main
question is, where to look/find. if other solutions should exist,
i'd be happy with them though.

finally, even though it's rather annoying than problematical, there
is an issue with apm, which is unable to provide me with information
about the battery state. output, independant of occasion, always is:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > apm
Battery state: unknown, 0% remaining, 0 minutes life estimate
A/C adapter state: connected
Performance adjustment mode: manual (1863 MHz)". and dmesg says
"(...) apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown (...)". perhaps there is a
solution too, of which someone knows. however, cardbus remains
important point.

enclosed you find the dmesg.

thank you!
dominic.
