Re: pccard problems
Yes. Somebody else told me that. I tried it (and confirmed that show displayed it, and that it was spelt right), and it still grabbed irq 5. Just to make sure it wasn't lying, I pulled the Ethernet board. No message, and when I tried a ping, the machine locked up solid. This is 3.2-RELEASE; when I'm finished what I'm doing, I'll look for why it's not reacting correctly.

Re: pccard problems
Indeed. Is it possibly interrupting on a line which something else is using? I've found a problem on my Latitude where it appears that the machine only has two interrupts free (3 and 9). If I put a modem on 3 and an Ethernet board on 9, it works, but only by putting pccardd on irq 5, which doesn't really work. If I pull the Ethernet card, the whole machine hangs up when I try to access the net, presumably because pccardd hasn't found out about it. Have you tried setting the PCIC IRQ to 0, so that the driver polls instead? -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\-- Joseph Merrick \\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Neither card works: 1) The first card is some sort of DVD/MPEG-2 decoder card. It seems to be called a DELL Margi. Whenever the card is inserted and pccardd is running, the entire system hangs so hard that console I/O no longer works. Even ctl-alt-del is ignored. The power button is ignored. I have to turn the machine off by poking a special hidden recessed button on the side with a paper clip. I don't expect to find a FreeBSD driver for this card, but I would prefer that having it physically installed didn't hang the system. Indeed.

A label on the back of the card says Model 3CCFEM656. The command pccardc dumpcis reports: Configuration data for card in slot 1 Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 I assume that pccardd cannot recognize and configure cards without configuration data. Is this card broken in some sense? Can anyone recommend a driver? I've seen this kind of problem on my Latitude laptop after running Microsoft. It seems that Microsoft sets the board state in such a way that a simple reboot doesn't reset it, and this is the result. If I power down the machine and then boot it with FreeBSD, I don't have any problems. Have you tried that?
