I tested 2 pcmcia cards on 3 different laptops with the exact same default installation (minimal). The cards are: Ubiquiti SRC Atheros 5212 Wireless Adapter Sierra Wireless, AC850, 3G Network Adapter On a T61p and on a Fujitsu laptop after plugin the Ubiquiti Card following is printed: pcib1: requested memory range 0xd0200000-0xd02fffff: good cbb0: Opening memory: cbb0: Normal: 0xd0220000-0xd022ffff unknown: Lazy allocation of 0x10000 bytes rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xd0220000 cbb0: Opening memory: map[10]: type Memory, range 32, base r, size 16, enabled pcib1: requested memory range 0xd0200000-0xd02fffff: good found-> vendor=0x168c, dev=0x0013, revid=0x01 domain=0, bus=2, slot=0, func=0 class=02-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 cmdreg=0x0002, statreg=0x0290, cachelnsz=0 (dwords) lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x0a (2500 ns), maxlat=0x1c (7000 ns) intpin=a, irq=11 powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xd0220000-0xd022ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: Reserved 0x10000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xd0220000 cbb0: Opening memory: cbb0: Normal: 0xd0220000-0xd022ffff ath0: [MPSAFE] ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: hal channel 2412/a0 -> 1 ath0: hal channel 2412/c0 -> 1 ath0: hal channel 2417/a0 -> 2 ath0: hal channel 2417/c0 -> 2 ath0: hal channel 2422/a0 -> 3 ath0: hal channel 2422/c0 -> 3 ath0: hal channel 2427/a0 -> 4 ath0: hal channel 2427/c0 -> 4 ath0: hal channel 2432/a0 -> 5 ath0: hal channel 2432/c0 -> 5 ath0: hal channel 2437/a0 -> 6 ath0: hal channel 2437/c0 -> 6 ath0: hal channel 2437/d0 -> 6 ath0: hal channel 2442/a0 -> 7 ath0: hal channel 2442/c0 -> 7 ath0: hal channel 2447/a0 -> 8 ath0: hal channel 2447/c0 -> 8 ath0: hal channel 2452/a0 -> 9 ath0: hal channel 2452/c0 -> 9 ath0: hal channel 2457/a0 -> 10 ath0: hal channel 2457/c0 -> 10 ath0: hal channel 2462/a0 -> 11 ath0: hal channel 2462/c0 -> 11 ath0: hal channel 5180/140 -> 36 ath0: hal channel 5200/140 -> 40 ath0: hal channel 5200/150 -> 40 ath0: hal channel 5210/2150 -> 42 ath0: hal channel 5220/140 -> 44 ath0: hal channel 5240/140 -> 48 ath0: hal channel 5240/150 -> 48 ath0: hal channel 5250/2150 -> 50 ath0: hal channel 5260/140 -> 52 ath0: hal channel 5280/140 -> 56 ath0: hal channel 5280/150 -> 56 ath0: hal channel 5290/2150 -> 58 ath0: hal channel 5300/140 -> 60 ath0: hal channel 5320/140 -> 64 ath0: hal channel 5745/140 -> 149 ath0: hal channel 5760/2150 -> 152 ath0: hal channel 5765/140 -> 153 ath0: hal channel 5765/150 -> 153 ath0: hal channel 5785/140 -> 157 ath0: hal channel 5800/2150 -> 160 ath0: hal channel 5805/140 -> 161 ath0: hal channel 5805/150 -> 161 ath0: hal channel 5825/140 -> 165 ath0: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: bpf attached ath0: Ethernet address: 00:15:6d:53:f8:12 ath0: bpf attached ath0: bpf attached ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: turboA rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: sturboA rates: ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6 ath0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic ath0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic ath0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic ath0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic ath0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic ath0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons and with ifconfig we see it's ok ath0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:15:6d:53:f8:12 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b) authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 50 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11b 7 roam:rate11b 1 burst bintval 0 on the T60p the message is: pcib6: requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good cbb0: Opening memory: cbb0: Normal: 0xbfed0000-0xbfedffff unknown: Lazy allocation of 0x10000 bytes rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xbfed0000 cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xa cbb0: Opening memory: map[10]: type Memory, range 32, base r, size 16, enabled pcib6: requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good found-> vendor=0x168c, dev=0x0013, revid=0x01 domain=0, bus=22, slot=0, func=0 class=02-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 cmdreg=0x0002, statreg=0x0290, cachelnsz=0 (dwords) lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x0a (2500 ns), maxlat=0x1c (7000 ns) intpin=a, irq=16 powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xbfed0000-0xbfedffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: Reserved 0x10000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xbfed0000 cbb0: Opening memory: cbb0: Normal: 0xbfed0000-0xbfedffff ath0: [MPSAFE] ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: unable to attach hardware;

The same installation on other laptops works just like a charm. How-To-Repeat: Just insert a pcmcia card. I think it will be the same problem with other cards as well. I found another bug description on a forum maybe it can help for more informations: http://www.nabble.com/support-for-Proxim-Silver-wifi-card-td15755775.html
I have a T60p, I've run 7.0-RC4, 7.0-RELEASE, and 6.3-RELEASE on it. I use a pair of cardbus cards, one is a netgear atheros based wireless NIC and the other is a pantech px-500 EVDO card. I've had some USB trouble with the pantech (it has a usb modem on it) but none whatsoever with the atheros wireless. I can post dmesg or other output if needed. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB
Hi Josh I borrowed an Netgear card with the atheros 5212 chip to test. on the two other laptops it's working on the T60p the output is the same as for the other cards: pcib6: requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good cbb0: Opening memory: cbb0: Normal: 0xbfed0000-0xbfedffff unknown: Lazy allocation of 0x10000 bytes rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xbfed0000 cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xa cbb0: Opening memory: map[10]: type Memory, range 32, base r, size 16, enabled pcib6: requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good found-> vendor=0x168c, dev=0x0013, revid=0x01 domain=0, bus=22, slot=0, func=0 class=02-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 cmdreg=0x0002, statreg=0x0290, cachelnsz=0 (dwords) lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x0a (2500 ns), maxlat=0x1c (7000 ns) intpin=a, irq=16 powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xbfed0000-0xbfedffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: Reserved 0x10000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xbfed0000 cbb0: Opening memory: cbb0: Normal: 0xbfed0000-0xbfedffff ath0: [MPSAFE] ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13 cbb0: Opening memory: device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6 and the pciconf output: ath0@pci0:22:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x5b001385 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR5212, AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter' class = network subclass = ethernet I really don't get it, today I installed again FreeBSD 7.0 CURRENT on a T61p and it's working plug and play :/ What is interesting is also, that it was working once, I installed on my t60p FreeBSD 6.1 and then just updated/upgraded till I ended up with 7.0 CURRENT, but I wanted to reinstall my system now to have again a clean installation and since I installed it out of box the cardbus is not working anymore. If I boot on the Windows partition everything is working. (so my cardbus is not broken :) ) Do you have any special settings in loader.conf, or in any hints file ? greets Oliver On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 4:36 PM, Josh Paetzel <josh@tcbug.org> wrote: > I have a T60p, I've run 7.0-RC4, 7.0-RELEASE, and 6.3-RELEASE on it.
