Re: Problem with Intel WiFi card

["Rocky Hotas" <rockyhotas%post.com@localhost>]

Hello!
I recompiled the -current kernel (7.99.59) using the GENERIC configuration file, but adding this line:

options PCIBIOS_ADDR_FIXUP

in the GENERIC configuration file. An older message with a similar problem suggested this:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2007/02/12/0013.html

Anyway, even with the "new" kernel, the wireless card gives the same error: from `dmesg',

iwn0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: vendor 0x8086 product 0x4232 (rev. 0x00)
: can't map mem space

The strange fact is that this card should be supported by NetBSD and its iwn(4) driver.
Can I do something else?
Thank you,

Rocky
