There should be a kernel configuation file called OLDCARDBUS, or something to that effect. It's my understanding that this configuration file uses the old (FreeBSD 4*) system for dealing with pcmcia cards. Using the old cardbus configuration file didn't fix anything on a Compaq Presario 910US. The pccard slot configuration needed manual tweaking in FreeBSD 4.*; but it didn't work under either cardbus system when running FreeBSD 5*.

Andrew, I have tried your script, and I still get no functionality of my wifi card. Dirk, I have tried removing cbb, pcic, and cardbus, but I get an error when I reboot about there being no pccard devices. If I have pccard and cbb, I have the same functionality as before (or lack thereof). The lights on the card seem to indicate that it can connect to the wireless network, but I cannot even ping the wifi AP. That tells me there is a problem. Any further advice would be appreciated.

I generally wait to tweak down my kernel config until I have everything working. I will check and make certain I have that stuff in my config. Is there anything I could have in there that would cause problems, that I should make certain I take out?

I'm using the same card on 5.2.1 Release on a Dell Inspiron 8100. The only change I had to make to the scripts I used on FreeBSD 4.10 was to delete: authmode "shared" (I don't know why the change was needed since the wireless lan and access point stayed the same.) Here's the contents of the script (I've changed the addresses and codes): ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid "mywan" nwkey 0x1234567890 #(everything above should be on one line) route add default 192.168.0.1 echo domain cablelynx.com > /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver 24.204.0.4 >> /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver 24.204.0.5 >> /etc/resolv.conf echo wi0 If you try the script above and still get the error message, try adding the following to the beginning of the script so the script gets a clean start on the card: ifconfig wi0 remove Best of luck, Andrew Gould ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
WPC11 ver 3 or bust...
Hey all, I posted almost a week ago about not being able to use my 16-bit PCMCIA Linksys WPC-11 v3 wifi card. This card always worked well under 4.9, but I can't get it to work under 5.2.1. The card is recognized, and I can even assign IP addresses and such, but it never associates to my wireless network, even if I set ssid, channel, media, etc, manually. If I pull the card out, I get the following message in my logfile: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear I'm at the point where I'm thinking of going back to 4.9 (well, 4.10 now) so that I can use wifi again. The only reason I went to 5.2.1 was for better power management, but that doesn't really do anything for me anyways. If I can't get this to work within the next day or so, I'm going to just reinstall 4.x. Thanks for your help!
