Hi J,
Thanks for the advice. I decided to change some of
the ISA non plug-n-play settings and allowed IRQ 4 to
be accessed. Well, when I let it boot, it came up
with a different error message:
wi0 at pcmcia3 function 0: Lucent Technologies,
WaveLAN/IEEE, Version 01.01
wi0: port 0x400-0x43fpcmcia3: card irq 4
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0
wi0: init failed
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fce0/0; last status 8000
wi0: wi_cmd: BUSY did not clear, cmd0x21
could not get mac address, attach failed
wi0: failed to attach controller
What do you think this means?
I will also try playing around with some other
settings like you suggested and see what happens.
Thanks again,
J Silverman
