pccard slot not working properly

[Jim Stapleton]

I have a pccard wireless NIC, and I know it comes up and runs in
Knoppix, but in FreeBSD, it is troubled. It is reported to work on one
website, using NDIS, but I don't get far enough to make use of it.
After some testing, I suspect it's the notebook not recognizing the
pccard slot.

- The cards diagnostic light blinks green and then goes off when inserted
- The card information does not appear in dmesg after insertion
- The card appears to work fine in knoppix
- I'll have a friend with some spare pccards come over tomorrow - her
cards work on her BSD box just fine, just to verify if it's card or
card controller.

My question, the system is a Toshiba Satellite A105-4001. It is an
i850/ICH7 based machine. What's the best way to see what the pccard
device is, and figure out how to get it working?

My main test that leaves me suspicious, I booted the machine with the
card and ran the following commands:
$ ls /dev > IL-dev
$ dmesg > IL-dmesg
$ pciconf > IL-pciconf

Next, I rebooted it without the card:
$ ls /dev > I-dev
$ dmesg > I-dmesg
$ pciconf > I-pciconf

Next I diff'ed the IL files with their matching I files, the only
difference that popped up with dmesg with the 'Timecounter "TSC"
frequency [...]. entry, which to my knowledge, should not be related
to the problem at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
