I'm experiencing problems with a 3Com 556 minipci card that is built
into this HP Omnibook 500 laptop. I've installed 5.1-RELEASE, cvsuped
(~5 hrs ago) and rebuilt world and kernel with the miibus and xl devices
present, but the error persists.

---dmesg_output---
xl0: <3Com 3c556 Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1400-0x14ff irq 10 at device
11.0 on pci0 xl0: using port I/O
xl0: couldn't map ports/memory
device_probe_and_attach: xl0 attach returned 6
---end_dmesg_output--

Google offered some hints that a biossetting could cause this, but there
exists no "Plug and Play OS" setting in the bios unfortunately. Using
'hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"' doesnt change anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions or got it to work?
