I sent a request for help on this problem earlier, but with no luck in solving it. Now that I have some more information about it and a better understanding I hope this problem can be fixed. I have a 10/100 fast ethernet carbus card that uses the realtek 8139 chipset that I'd like to use with FreeBSD. I have 5.3-RELEASE installed on a PIII Celeron in a Compaq Presario Laptop. The card is reconized and the rl driver seems to load, but fails to map the card's memory or i/o ports. Here is the appropriate kernel messages:
cbb alloc res fail cardbus0: Can't get memory for IO ports cbb alloc res fail re0: couldn't map ports/memory cbb alloc res fail rl0: couldn't map ports/memory cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: CardBus card activation failed Intrestingly, it looks like two different realtek drivers are trying to access it, re and rl. Can this cause a problem and is there a way to determine the correct driver for it? I think rl is the one I need. Here's pciconf -vl for the card: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x813910ec chip=0x813910ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter' class = network subclass = ethernet Also, /dev/card0 does not exist, is this a legacy item from 4.x and earlier. If so, then pccardd and pccardc are also no longer needed? It seems like somewhere I saw a similar problem with another cardbus card and the solution was to set some sysctl like allow_unsupported something or another in the loader at boot. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
