Hi folks,
Luke Mewburn and I have been having hassles getting a WaveLan card to
work in a Dell Inspiron 5000e. Inserting a WaveLan card results in:
wi0: init failed
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fce0/0; last status ffff
wi0: could not get mac address, attach failed
It did work however if a cardbus ethernet card was already inserted
before inserting the WaveLan. Enabling all the cardbus-type DEBUG
options led to discovering that when the card worked its IO ports were
mapped at 0x2100:
pccbb_pcmcia_do_io_map win 0 addr 0x2100 size 0x40 width 16
and when it failed they were mapped at 0x2400:
pccbb_pcmcia_do_io_map win 0 addr 0x2400 size 0x40 width 16
So, with the following extremely grotty hack:
Index: rbus.c
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/syssrc/sys/dev/cardbus/rbus.c,v
retrieving revision 1.8
diff -d -p -u -r1.8 rbus.c

+if (search_addr == 0x2000) /* XXX snark XXX */
+ search_addr -= 0x300; /* XXX snark XXX */
if (val == 0) {
break;
}
I can wire in 0x2100 and now use the WaveLan (well, I think I can -
I can ifconfig it but as yet haven't got anything else to talking
to it with). This also hasn't affected the usage of a Xircom combo
10/100/modem card.
Anyone got any ideas on what is actually wrong (why it doesn't work
at a different IO address) and how to fix it properly?
Simon.
