xl driver problems

[Karel Miklav]

FreeBSD 5.3 RC1
ThinkPad 600E
3Com Megahertz NIC, model 3CXFEM656C


I have this NIC that works perfectly under all sorts of Windows, but not 
under Knoppix nor any of the latest FreeBSD releases. It should work 
fine with the xl driver and indeed, this driver is probed succesfuly 
during boot, but I'm not able to follow what's going wrong after that.

cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=18, size=80
xl0: <3Com 3c656C Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 
0x88000000-0x8800007
f,0x88000080-0x880000ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
xl0: reset didn't complete
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: eeprom failed to come ready
xl0: failed to read station address
device_attach: xl0 attach returned 6
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=100
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=100
cardbus0: <simple comms> at device 0.1 (no driver attached)
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

With hw.cardbus.cis_debug=1 I got this:

It should be a simple resource allocation problem. I've tried all sorts 
of tricks with ThinkPad firmware, enabling/disabling devices with PS2 
utility, tuning kernel but nothing. I've had the same episode with 
soundcard which suddenly started working after two months of poking when 
I reset the firmware.

I know, I should get another card; but if someone knows what's the 
problem, I'd be glad to hear about it.
