CPU & Memory Wi0 d-link DWL-510 installation on freebsd
hello,

i have a problem installing a d-link dwl-510 wireless network card on freebsd 4.8

first, i already successfully installed a dwl- 500 (which is a pcmcia card in a pci card) by adding just a few simple lines to my /etc/rc.conf

pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_mem="DEFAULT"
pccard_ifconfig="inet 192.168.5.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid myssid"
pccard_beep="2"

this works superb for the dwl-500

but not for the dwl-510 which is a pci card with an antenna on it

when i boot i get message:
pccardc not configured

and indeed, the light on the network card doesn't not blink, stays mute

when i do #ifconfig -a i don't see Wi0

when i do dmesg /dev/* i can see on pci0
<unknown card> (vendor=0x1186, dev=0x3300) at 14.0 irq 5

could anyone give me the golden tip to be able to enable this card?

thnx!

axnet_cs

AXNET_CS(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						       AXNET_CS(4)

NAME

       axnet_cs - Asix AX88190 chipset PCMCIA Ethernet Driver

SYNOPSIS

       insmod axnet_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]

DESCRIPTION

       Axnet_cs  is  a driver for PCMCIA ethernet cards based on the Asix AX88190 chipset.  These cards are mostly NE2000 compatible but have sev-
       eral bugs that are sufficiently tricky to work around that a separate driver was deemed necessary.  When this driver is bound to a card, it
       allocates  the  next  available	ethernet  device (eth0..eth#).	This device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to
       cardmgr(8).

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.  A  non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       irq_list=i,j,...
	      Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.

DIAGNOSTICS

       axnet_cs: this is not an AX88190 card!
	      Indicates that this card is probably a normal NE2000 compatible card, which requires the pcnet_cs driver.

       eth#: interrupt(s) dropped!
	      Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notification for some reason.  The driver will poll the card (with a signifi-
	      cant performance penalty) if the problem persists.  The most likely cause is an interrupt conflict and/or host bridge  configuration
	      problem.
