PCcard support still broken in 4.7-R

In January/February 2002, I posted several messages to the
mobile and stable mailing lists detailing problems I had with
using wireless network cards in my laptop.

It worked (and still works) perfectly under FreeBSD-4.3-Release
and both wireless cards that I have just work.

With the advent of 4.4, the laptop would no longer boot without
the following in /boot/loader.conf:

    hw.pcic.intr_path="1"
    hw.pcic.irq="0"

At the time of 4.4-R (and the 5.0 of that time), I was greeted
on boot by:

    pccard: card inserted, slot 0
    pcic0: Static bug detected, ignoring hardware.

And it did indeed ignore the card.  BTW, it printed those two
lines whether or not a card was inserted.

I was asked to supply various extra pieces of information and
supplied all that was asked for.  And I never heard anything
more about it.  So I have had to keep using 4.3 on that box.
But 4.3 is now too old to continue with and I really want to run
an up-to-date version of FreeBSD on this machine.

So I have recently tried both 4.7-R and 5.0-R to see what has
changed.  Neither works, so I'll concentrate on 4.7-R from here
on, as I'd rather run 4.x at this stage.  For both 4.7-R and
5.0-R, the settings shown above in /boot/loader.conf are still
required to prevent a panic on boot.

And when it boots, although it correctly detects insertion and
removal of the wireless card, it reports an error (wrapped with
backslashes for legibility):

    demon /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
    demon pccardd[44]: Card "Cabletron"("RoamAbout 802.11 DS") \
        [Version 01.01] [] matched "Cabletron" ("RoamAbout \
	802.11 DS") [(null)] [(null)] 
    demon pccardd[44]: Failed to allocate IRQ for Cabletron 
    demon /kernel: pccard: card removed, slot 0

So the card is correctly detected, which is a step forward.  But
it doesn't work.

To complete the picture as far as I can, here are the settings
reported by sysctl hw.pcic:

    hw.pcic.irq: 0
    hw.pcic.boot_deactivated: 0
    hw.pcic.pd6722_vsense: 1
    hw.pcic.ignore_function_1: 0
    hw.pcic.intr_path: 1
    hw.pcic.init_routing: 0
    hw.pcic.ignore_pci: 0
    hw.pcic.pd6729_intr_path: 1

I have attached three files:

 1. A dmesg of a boot that included the panic if the sysctls are
    not provided at boot.

 2. A dmesg of a successful boot with the sysctls in place.

 3. The output of "pccardc dumpcis".

Is there some other simple magic that I can try to get this to
function, or is there some other information that I should
supply to make diagnosis easier?

Greg
