And to make sure, pin is actually showing this to be the IO and IRQ for
the device? Interrupt 3 is normally a serial port interrupt, so it
sounds like this could possibly be an issue with the pcmica config. I
am not sure - any ideas Hugh?

yes thats the output.
i disabled all parallel and serial ports in the bios,
i am not using them and i thought it may offer more resources to the system
i can force the card to a higher irq if i enable the ports in bios

Try doing that. Worth a try anyways.

It’s the card I’m using.
Thanks will go to Hugh at QSSL for his invaluable help in making it
work for me.
This was AFTER getting and replacing the pci-bios executable in /sbin/
with Hugh’s help, and making another boot image so that the card is
properly detected.
Mine is running at IRQ10, 'cause that doesn’t conflict with anything
in my particular box. It’ll use that IRQ for the card, both /dev/en0 and
/dev/ser2
This sets my box up at the internal IP 192.168.93.104. By uncommentng the
dhcp line, and commenting out the ifconfig and route lines, I’m able to
use the dhcp servers in my travels as well.
Hope this helps, and if you need more, I might find some time this week
to compare notes furthur…

I don’t want to bore you, but there’s nobody else around for me to bore.
