    Hello,

    I have a Proxim Harmony PCI-Card (WLAN) which should be supported by
    wi(4) (in the PCMCIA version). The PCI-PCMCIA bridge is a <Cirrus Logic
    PD6729/6730 PCI-PCMCIA Bridge> which may be supported by pcic(4) under
    FreeBSD 4.9 (I'm not sure):

         The following PCI cardbus and pcmcia bridges are supported:

         Cirrus Logic PD6729
         Cirrus Logic PD6730 These two might be broken at the moment.
         Cirrus Logic PD6832
         Cirrus Logic PD6833

    I've tried to get it to work under FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and 5.2-RELEASE. The last
    one says in its pcic(4) man-page:

        BUGS
         This does not work at all at the moment.

    The kernel just says

        pcic0: <Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PCI-PCMCIA Bridge> port 0xdc00-0xdc03 irq 5
    +at device 10.0 on pci0
        pcic0: Polling mode
        pccard0: <PC Card 16-bit bus (classic)> on pcic0
        pccard1: <PC Card 16-bit bus (classic)> on pcic0

    But pccardd does not find any cards:

        No card in database for "(null)"("(null)")

    I have added the following options to my kernel:

        device card
        device pcic
        device wlan
        device wi

    Is there any chance to get the WLAN card to work?

    Regards
     Christian
