Warner, do you have any ideas?
Ok, I've investigated and found that the source of the problem was a
trivial misconfiguration. In my pccard.conf I've assigned IRQ 9 to
modem, while forgot to add this IRQ into the list of available IRQs (I
had 3 5 10 11 13 15). For some reason, this setup was working during
at least past 1 year, which is obviously the reason why
misconfiguration wasn't detected earlier.
However, the quiestion remains, whether it is a good that behaviour is
different on second insertion. Digging into pccardd revealed that this
happens because after the first failure the daemon resets IRQ field in
the configuration structure to be 0, so that at the next insertion the
daemon allocates a first free IRQ available. Attached patch is
expected to make behaviour more consistent. Please let me know what do
you think.

PCMCIA modem is detected/attached only on second insertion
Hi, I had started observing this problem about a 1.5 months ago - my PCMCIA modem (EigerCom 33.6) is detected/attached only on second insertion, i.e. if I'm booting with the card inserted I have to manually eject it and put back, while if the machine boots with an empty slot I have to do insert-eject-insert procedure. At the same time, another PCMCIA card (ed0-compatible ethernet adapter) doesn't have this problem. Following is related kernel output when booted in the verbose mode (see my comments in []): pcic0: Intel i82365SL-A/B at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0 pcic0: Polling mode pccard0: PC Card bus (classic) on pcic0 pccard1: PC Card bus (classic) on pcic0 pcic1: Cannot get I/O range pcic1 failed to probe at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0 pccard: card inserted, slot 0 pcic0: reset 1 int is 0 stat is ff pccard: card inserted, slot 1 pcic0: reset 1 int is 0 stat is ff pcic0: reset 2 int is 60 stat is cf start_init: trying /sbin/init pcic0: reset 2 int is 60 stat is ef pcic0: reset 3 int is 60 stat is ef pcic0: reset 3 int is 60 stat is ef pccard0: Assigning ed0: io 0x240-0x25f irq 10 mem 0x0-0x pcic: I/O win 0 flags 15 240-25f pcic: I/O win 0 flags 5 240-25f ed0 at port 0x240-0x25f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0 pcic: I/O win 0 flags 15 240-25f ed0: address 00:80:c8:88:86:b1, type NE2000 (16 bit) [WAITING 5 min, no avail :( ] [REMOVING modem] pccard: card removed, slot 1 [INSERTING back] pccard: card inserted, slot 1 pcic0: reset 1 int is 0 stat is ff pcic0: reset 2 int is 60 stat is ef pcic0: reset 3 int is 60 stat is ef pccard1: Assigning sio1: io 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 3 mem 0x0-0x pcic: I/O win 0 flags 11 2e8-2ef pcic: I/O win 0 flags 1 2e8-2ef sio1 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 3 flags 0x4 slot 1 on pccard1 pcic: I/O win 0 flags 11 2e8-2ef sio1: type 16550A [IT WORKS] Please fix. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
