Hi,

  I am running FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE on IBM ThinkPad R40e.  I have
  compiled a custom kernel.

  I have a D-Link wireless LAN card:  DWL-G650+

  When I insert the card into PCMCIA slot, I see this in
  /var/log/messages:

Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: Expecting link target,
got 0x2a
Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: Resource not specified in
CIS: id=10, size=2000

(no driver attached)
Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cbb0: CardBus card activation
failed

  I have enabled PCMCIA devices in the kernel config:

# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
# PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support
device          cbb             # cardbus (yenta) bridge
device          pccard          # PC Card (16-bit) bus
device          cardbus         # CardBus (32-bit) bus

  Relevant text from dmesg:

cbb0: <TI1510 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0xb0000000-0xb0000fff irq 11 at
device 12.0 on pci0
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0

  Any pointers to get the card working?

Thanks!
Deepak
