I had setup a wireless gateway using an old 486 laptop and two PCMCIA
cards using FreeBSD and it worked nicely. I decided to try the project
again with NetBSD instead. This is what I get:
pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0-0x3e1 iomem 0xd0000-0xdffff
pcic0: controller 0 (Cirrus PD672X) has sockets A and B
pcic0: controller 1 (Intel 82365SL Revision 1) has no sockets

ne0: where did the card go?
I'm pretty sure i was using FreeBSD 4.4, but sence I installed NetBSD
over it I don't have the dmesg. I put FreeBSD 4.5 on another HDD and it
had this to say:
pcic0: <Cirrus logic 6722> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 on isa0
pcic0: Polling mode
pccard0: <PC Card bus (classic)> on pcic0
pccard1: <PC Card bus (classic)> on pcic0
I then tried these cards in NetBSD on my Sony Vaio and they worked
fine. So I'm assuming the problem is with how NetBSD is handling the
PCMCIA controller on the old laptop. I was going through the ne driver
code and found that this was the line in ne2000_detect() that was
failing:
        tmp = bus_space_read1(nict, nich, ED_P0_CR);
        if ((tmp & (ED_CR_RD2 | ED_CR_TXP | ED_CR_STA | ED_CR_STP)) !=
            (ED_CR_RD2 | ED_CR_STP))
                goto out;
And before you suggest that I define GWETHER I'll tell you now that it
dosen't help. If anyone recognizes this problem please drop me a
message, otherwise I just noticed Polling mode seems like a good thing
to try next.
