Subject: TI PCI1450 CardBus Help.....


Hi, I am running NetBSD-current on my Compaq Armada M700 notebook. It
uses the Texas Instruments PCI1450 PCI-CardBus Bridge and I have been
having a hell of a time figuring out why its not behaving correctly.

Here is what I tested:
I have a 3COM 3c575 CardBus card, and when this card is in the first
slot it is detected and works fine. But in the second slot it is not
detected. This was fine for a while but I recently purchased WaveLAN
cards from Lucent and want them both to be in at the same time.

I also tried putting the WaveLAN card (which is PCMCIA not CardBus) in
the first slot (which works fine for the 3c575) and could not get it to
work. I got an error about not being able to find the MAC address, in
the second slot it also was not detected. Thinking that this may have
something to do with the WaveLAN driver I dug out my old reliable 3c589D
and tried it in the fist slot, again with a strange error (which I
didn't write down), and in the second slot it also was not detected.

Here is what I know :
1) CardBus cards work in slot 1
2) No cards work in slot 2
3) PCMCIA cards do not work in slot 1
4) I also noticed that USB is also not working, I do not necessarily
care about this right now but it would be nice to get this fixed.
5) the WI and EP devices work fine on the generic kernel with no
CardBus.

Although I am running with a custom kernel, I get the exact same
behavior out of the regular CARDBUS kernel. I am also running the most
recent source. (I ftp'd the src tree from ftp.netbsd.org today and
rebuilt my kernel and did a make build while I was at it).

Some one recomended to me that I turn off the PNP OS setting in my bios,
unfortunatly Compaq did not provide such a setting, and even if they did
I don't know if I could use it since this is a multi-boot machine.

I have attatched the dmesg output from my kernel with the related
debuging stuff turned on.

Any help would be appriciated. I am at my wits end on this problem and I
realy want to play with my WaveLAN cards!
