PCI -> PCMCIA Bridge Adapter
Hi All, I just was wondering if anyone out there knew of any drivers that support the pccard PCI -> PCMCIA bridge adapter, also made by pccard (see www.pccard.co.uk), similar to the ISA -> PCMICIA bridge adapter that is currently supported under FreeBSD If anyone knows of such a driver please let me know, any help on this one would be much appreciated Many Thanks Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

It's supposed to work in -current, due to the complete rewrite of the PCMCIA/CardBus code there. Sorry, but :( I myself was up against this problem, and I ended up getting a PCMCIA -> ISA bridge - it works flawlessly in -stable. G'luck, Peter -- No language can express every thought unambiguously, least of all this one.

Someone has wave $$$ under my nose to make pci bridges work in -stable with OLDCARD. It doesn't yet work in -current for reasons unknown.

Hi All pcic-pci1: at device 16.1 on pci0 pcic-pci1: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [pwr save][pci only] Just to say, I seem to have fbsd recognizing my pci cardbus bridge in 4.3-RELEASE however, it doesnt pick up the orinoco card plugged into there, is this because of bugs mentioned on the list so far or is this for another reason?

The 4.x code assumes that it is connected to the isa bus, while a cardbus bridge in the pci cards on a pci bus isn't. So we recognize it, but program it wrong.
