Hello,

Got it, I'll play with it later today. What's missing?

Btw. I did a quick port of OpenBSD's tslot driver for SPARCbook PCMCIA, only to find out that the wlan card I have here ( a d-link DWL-650 RevP ) doesn't work because it uses either a PRISM3 or something completely different, but since the manufacturer ID is Intersil I guess it's some sort of PRISM. So I made a test kernel ( it will spew a LOT of PCMCIA-related debugging info ) with all the network- and IDE drivers built in, get it here:
http://macallan.homeunix.org:6704/stuff/BSD/sparc/SPARCbook3GX_PCMCIA_03_11.bz2

Please tell me...
- if it works with anything
- if it doesn't work with something
- if the rest works

Since my only card here is unsupported I couldn't quite figure out if the driver really does The Right Thing(tm) - I think there's another wlan card here, if I could only find it...

So, please send me dmesg outputs!

have fun
Michael
