I have a colleague who installed FreeBSD 6.1-stable onto an Alienware MJ-12 laptop. A verbose dmesg is at http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~kargl/alienware.dmesg We are trying to getting his wireless nic up, but seem to have run into a cardbus issue. I've built a custom kernel and stripped out all unneeded device drives. During boot,r we see cardbus0: CIS pointer is 0! cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=1000000 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=1c, size=1000000 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=24, size=80 cbb alloc res fail found-> vendor=0x10de, dev=0x0299, revid=0xa1 bus=2, slot=0, func=0 class=03-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 cmdreg=0x0003, statreg=0x0010, cachelnsz=8 (dwords) lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x00 (0 ns), maxlat=0x00 (0 ns) intpin=a, irq=255 powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit Has anyone seen this problem and do you have some recommendations to fix or work around the issue? -- Steve

For example: cardbus0: CIS pointer is 0! cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=2000 ndis0: <Belkin 802.11g Network Adapter> mem 0xf6002000-0xf6003fff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:11:50:7b:ba:b1 is the output for my Broadcom-based wireless NIC. I use a WinDoze driver and the ndis interface. jmc

For example:The card has a atheros chip, and I know that it worked with FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. However, because of patches, I upgraded to 6.1-stable, and a acpi failure may be confusing cardbus. -- Steve
