I was wondering if anyone could help me understand what the following lines
in dmesg mean:
ep0 at pcmcia1 function 0 port 0x400-0x41f: 3Com 3c574-TX 10/100Mbps Ethernet
ep0: wrote 0x7ff to TX_AVAIL_THRESH, read back 0x0. Interface disabled
ep0: couldn't configure controller
As a side note, I am trying to get NetBSD 1.5 (GENERIC) recognize a
newly purchased 3Com PCMCIA LAN card (Model 3CCFE574BT) on my laptop.
Here's what ifconfig says about it:
# ifconfig ep0
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS ep0: Device not configured
And this is what dmesg tells about PCMCIA controllers if it helps:
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
pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
pcmcia1 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 1
pcic0: using irq 3 for socket events
I made sure that the kernel had support for my card (ep0) and the web
page <http://www.netbsd.org/Hardware/pcmcia.html> says that my card
should be supported. Am I missing something?
Please let me know if I can provide more info.
Thanks a million and have a nice day!
