i broke down and did a fresh install of the developer's
preview of 5.0 and the wi driver picks up the d-link
wireless card and works like a champ. the catch is that
for some reason the ed driver doesn't seem to want to recognize
my isa ne2000 (compliant) nic. i recompiled the kernel making
sure that device ed was specified (along with miibus) and still
no luck. i was thinking it may have been a problem with the network card,
but slackware 8 with kernel 2.4.17 (on a different partition) picked up
the network card just fine (as well as the d-link card, via wlan drivers).
i've gone into the dumb dos setup utility for the network
card at least twenty times, specifying just about every
combination of options (enabled/disabled plug-and-play
and tried a bunch of different port/irq/iomem). i've also
gone into the bios and tried enabling and disabling pnp-OS.
dmesg (used boot -v) doesn't list anything resembling an
isa nic at all, but kldstat -v has if_ed listed in (seemingly)
all the right places. i did specify the pertaining values
in /boot/devices for the ed driver as well.
all this to no avail. i know there's something i've overlooked..
any hints/suggestions? thanks!!!

recently acquired a dwl520 and i was wondering
if there is freebsd support for this card.
i looked through what appeared to be the pci-support
portion of the wi driver (if_wi_pci.c ..checked out
via cvs last night) and i couldn't find a definition of this card:
pci_ids[] = {
{0x1638, 0x1100, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, PRISM2STA PCI WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11},
{0x1385, 0x4100, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Netgear MA301 PCI IEEE 802.11b},
{0x16ab, 0x1101, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, GLPRISM2 PCI WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11},
{0x16ab, 0x1102, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Linksys WDT11 PCI IEEE 802.11b},
{0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Linksys WMP11 PCI Prism2.5},
{0x10b7, 0x7770, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, 3Com Airconnect IEEE 802.11b},
{0x111a, 0x1023, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Siemens SpeedStream IEEE 802.11b},
{0, 0, 0, NULL}
this may or may not be indicative of support for this card as far as i
know (which is not much regarding driver hacking). i compiled the driver
into the kernel anyways and got this on bootup:
pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x1260, dev=0x3873) at 11.0 irq 12
so would anyone happen to know if this card is supported and if so,
is there a diff/patch/revision that i should get or procedure i should
follow?
thanks a bunches!
