cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=400?????
I have a Netgear FA511 Cardbus NIC that I am trying to use in a Dell
Inspiron 8600 laptop running 6.1-STABLE, but with limited success. When
I insert it, I get the message "cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS:
id=14, size=400" appear as part of the cardbus probe. The card
superficially "works," but very unreliably (e.g., quite a few
"dc0:
watchdog timeout" messages and no network traffic at times).
What does "cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=400"
mean? Is this a hardware or a firmware or a driver issue?
When I insert the NIC into the Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, the MAC
address that gets assigned to the interface is 00-00-00-00-00-00. This
happens both under FreeBSD and Windows XP. However, when I tried the
NIC in a friend's Acer laptop, the MAC address was correctly reported by
Windows XP (couldn't try FreeBSD), and corresponds with the one printed
on the underside of the NIC. So, it seems that the Cardbus NIC itself
is okay, just not in the Dell laptop. :-(
Is this something that is fixable, e.g., with a suitable device.hints or
sysctl setting?
Here's what is output on the Dell Inspiron 8600 when I insert the
Netgear FA511 NIC (extra cardbus debugging enabled):

Here is how the Cardbus adapter is probed during boot:
pcib2: <ACPI PCI-PCI bridge> at device 30.0 on pci0
pci_link1: BIOS IRQ 11 for 2.3.INTA is invalid
pci2: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib2
cbb0: <TI4510 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 1.0 on pci2
cbb0: Found memory at f6000000

cbb0: Setting primary bus to 2
cbb0: Secondary bus set to 3 subbus 4
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
Finally, here is the output of pciconf -vl for the laptop (the
"PCI4510SDFSDFSD PC Card Controller SDFSDAFSADFSDAFSDAF" description
for
the Cardbus bridge looks highly suspicious to me):
