Is anyone able to use the Novatel "Merlin for Ricochet" PCMCIA card on
NetBSD? (I'm running 1.5.1 Beta). NetBSD seems to be having trouble
reading the CIS structure from the card, and ultimately decides that
something is wrong. Some debugging output from pcmcia_cis is enclosed
below.
The card itself is working much better than that -- BSD/OS 4.1 can
recognize the card, though it senses some anomaly:
tpce_pd_cv: unknown extension byte 0x6d
Slot 0: flags=0x3<UP,RUNNING>
Attached device: com4
Manufacturer Name: "Novatel Wireless"
Product Name: "Merlin Ricochet Modem"
Additional Info1: "NRM6842"
Function ID: 2 (Serial)
Assigned IRQ: 9
Assigned I/O port1: 0x3e8-0x3ef
