I see only one call to sdhci_init_slot in bcm2835_sdhost.c so maybe that's the problem.  It supports exactly one SDIO device, a memory card. >> >> Any thoughts?  Is it worth thinking about the wireless chip or is it just too much work? >> >> # camcontrol devlist >>   at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,sdda0) >> # camcontrol devlist -v >> scbus0 on sdhci_slot0 bus 0: >>   at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,sdda0) >> scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0: >> <>                                 at scbus-1 target -1 lun ffffffff (xpt0) >> >> >> > > > As you got no answer from somebody who knows more about this than I do I will try to give some pointers. > > Here you can search through the history of the mailinglist. https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/date.html > Look for WiFi/SDIO/RPI kind of subjects. > > The latest I found about this subject: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/2020-October/022626.html. > > I don't know anything about the current state.
