Hi again!
Sorry for posting one and the same thing three times -
that's my first
post to netbsd-help mail-list.
Anyway, I managed to set the PC card myself and since I
bothered you
discussing my problem let me tell you how I fixed it.
I began editing GENERIC_LAPTOP in
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf: first I
added
"options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=0x8000"
(under Win 98 SE the PC card was found on irq 15).
After having read the "pcmcia" and
"options" manpages I added the
following lines to GENERIC_LAPTOP:
"options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE=0x300
options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE=0x0ff
options PCMCIAVERBOSE"
(honestly I don't have any idea if these lines have any
effect on the
matter. )
Since I have no USB and SCSI devices on my laptop I
commented all
sections in GENERIC_LAPTOP concerning USB and SCSI devices
and their
derivatives.
Among the commented lines was the "MII/PHY"
section. That proved to be
very important, especially "ukphy*".
"ukphy*" line had to be commented
because otherwise the system kept showing the error message
"ne0:
device timeout".
After compiling the new kernel, I set a DHCP client on the
laptop,
connected it to my DHCP server station and the laptop was
allocated IP.
I successfilly ping-ed in both directions, so I assume that
the network
adapter setup is OK ... finally.
If anyone has an idea why these setting corrected the
problem, I will
be happy to hear it.
Thank you for reading!
Best regards,
degoor
