Ok This is an update on my Problem getting this network card working.
as stated previously..:
Hello everyone,
back in the days of 5.1.xxx my 3com CFM656B
(That's not the exact model
number sorry but it's in my machine at home at the
moment.) worked
beautifully. I had changed to the 5.1 branch of
FreeBSD because finally I
could use something other than a ratty Linksys
10mbps pccard in my laptop.
I cvsup'd religeously and the world built well
(usually) and the kernels
kernelled and I was a righteous FreeBSD guru. But
then.. 5.2.1 hit and my
3com netcard no longer functioned. I searched high
and low for fixes,
answers cvsup every chance I had and never once did
the card work again.
Everything shows normal in the dmesg but the bus
never resets and the system
can't get the station address. I checked interrupts
and the card bus is
there sharing life with the pccard interface at irq
10.
If I'm using 5.1 of the OS (which I reinstalled
the other day because i'm
trying to get my new Linksys wifi card running) the
3com works and data
flows at a reasonable rate.
Does anyone know of a fix for the cardbus since
that's the only thing I can
find that seems like it's out of wack? same hardware
works fine with 5.1 but
5.2 is toiletville.
My 10mbps linksys card still works but it is a 16
bit pccard and nothing and
no cards that I have that are 32bit cardbus work at
all.
This is on a IBM Iseries thinkpad 1141. It's been
my main work horse since I
bought it in 2000.
Please help make a ratty old laptop useful again.
I'll do what I can to
provide information to get this problem fixed. Since
I see current is now
trying to breath life into FreeBSD-6.0 and I would
hate to see this problem
continue.
Thank you in advance for everything.
Sincerely
Davon
The card is a 3CCFEM656B.
Earlier Dave McCammon siggested this patch..
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2004-September/004726.html
Which I applied to FreeBSD 5.3Beta4 cleanly but it made no difference.
I checked vmstat -i and found cbb0 and uhci0 on irq 10. So Just in case there
was a conflict I removed the uhci driver so cbb0 was the only thing on irq 10.
I put the card in after I booted up and set all the debug for cis,cardbus and cbb
