BELKIN 'F5D5020' 16bit PCMCIA - FreeBSD HOWTO
Hey all,

I've bought a few bits from Belkin who seem quite happy to support FreeBSD! Last time I bought a UPS from them and it's still going well Smilie

I saw this on their website that the 16bit PCMCIA card was supported under FreeBSD:
http://www.belkin.com/network/F5D5020.html

I went to my local "PC World" and bought it. I turned on my FreeBSD 4.6.2 Laptop, stuck the card in, the card was "sensed" as inserted, but nothing in "ifconfig" - ARRRGGHHH!!!

Anyway, after much trying, I got it working. Here's the solution for your /etc/pccard.conf file should you need it:

# ----------------------------------------------------------
# Belkin F5D5020
card "Belkin" "F5D5020-PCMCIA-Network-Card"
config auto "ed" ? 0x10
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
# ----------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps any of you that decide to buy it! Smilie

I'm happy with it!

snc

SNC(4)							 BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual						    SNC(4)

NAME

     snc -- National Semiconductor DP8393X SONIC Ethernet adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

     device isa
     device snc

DESCRIPTION

     The snc driver provides support for the National Semiconductor SONIC Ethernet adapters.

HARDWARE

     The snc driver supports the following cards:

     o	 National Semiconductor DP83934AVQB
     o	 NEC PC-9801-83
     o	 NEC PC-9801-84
     o	 NEC PC-9801-103
     o	 NEC PC-9801-104
     o	 NEC PC-9801N-15
     o	 NEC PC-9801N-25
     o	 NEC PC-9801N-J02 PCMCIA
     o	 NEC PC-9801N-J02R PCMCIA

     The snc driver also includes support for the National Semiconductor NS46C46 as 64 * 16 bits Microwave Serial EEPROM.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     Accessing SONIC card data structures and registers as 32 bit values makes code endianness independent.  The SONIC is however always in big-
     endian mode so it is necessary to ensure that data structures shared between the CPU and the SONIC card are always in big-endian order.  The
     snc driver supports the PC-98 C-Bus, and PnP buses.  Support is also provided for the legacy C-Bus.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The following driver specific error messages may be reported:

     snc%d: snc_nec16_register_irq: unsupported irq (%d)  The card returned an IRQ which is not supported by the driver.

     snc%d: invalid packet length %d bytes  An attempt to transfer a data packet failed due to an invalid packet length.

SEE ALSO

     netintro(4), bus_alloc_resource_any(9)

HISTORY

     The snc driver was ported from NetBSD by Motomichi Matsuzaki <mzaki@e-mail.ne.jp> and Hiroshi Yamashita <bluemoon@msj.biglobe.ne.jp>.  It
     first appeared in FreeBSD 4.2.  This manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.

AUTHORS

     This manual page was written by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     Currently the snc driver only works on the PC-98 architecture.  It should probably work on the i386 architecture as well.
