TI PCI1450 PC Card adapter

Hi,

I trying to get a TI PCI1450-based PC Card adapter (from Advanced Digital
Logic) to work with RTP 6.1.

(1) With the card slots empty:
slay devp-pccard
devp-pccard -v
(runs and doesn’t return any output)

‘pin’ shows all slots empty

(2) I insert the orinoco card and run pin again. It shows the card at
address 0x200 irq 5. (Same as the old setting with the ISA PC Card adapter)

(3) I try to start the network
io-net -d orinoco

The shell freezes and I am unable to do anything further.

I have a feeling I have overlooked something, or that this adapter card
simply won’t work with this release.

Advice anyone?

Thanks,

Dave McMordie

The output goes to slogger, so you will have to use ‘sloginfo’ to see the
verbose output.

There was a problem detected with devp-pccard if you had an audio card in
your machine. Try starting ‘devp-pccard -a0x300,0x380 -v’ and then start
the network driver.

Thanks for the tip-- that solved the problem.

It appears that devp-pccard was started by an enumerator, so I added the
options directly into /etc/system/enum/devices/bridge where devp-pccard is
started and that worked fine.

Even though the audio facilities on our Lippert CRR CPU board are disabled,
devp-pccard seems to hang the boot when started without these options (with
the orinoco card in).

Thanks again,
