I bought recently a Siemens Nixdorf Scenic Mobile 310CS and a PCMCIA Trust
Netlink Combi PC-Card (best seller here in Italy)... now I'm in trouble to get
this card to work.


0) I'm using NetBSD 1.3


1) This notebook use a PC-Card Controller Cirrus CL-GD6730 at I/O $3E0 and no
IRQ: the manual says "Does not require IRQ anymore"


2) I compiled the kernel with the following (relevant ...I think) options:
# PCMCIA bus support
pcmcia*	at pcic? controller ? socket ?

# ISA PCMCIA controllers
pcic0	at isa? port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 0x4000
pcic1	at isa? port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 iosiz 0x4000

# PCMCIA serial interfaces
#com*	at pcmcia? function ?		# Modems and serial cards

# PCMCIA network interfaces
ep*	at pcmcia? function ?		# 3Com 3c589 and 3c562 Ethernet
ne*	at pcmcia? function ?		# NE2000-compatible Ethernet
sm*	at pcmcia? function ?		# Megahertz Ethernet


3) dmesg says:

It seems to me NetBSD cannot see any pcmcia device plugged.
Actually under Windows95 the card came to live just after the drivers have been
loaded (the leds on the media connector remains off until this point).
Under NetBSD The three leds (Tx/On - Col - Ln/Rx) remains off all the time.

Perhaps this could be a driver problem... but I suspect also this 'IRQless'
Cirrus chip isn't yet supported.

I hope to be wrong, and the problem is simpler then I think.

Thanks in advance for any help
