That looks fine. Do you get a message saying what it is trying to allocate for the card ? With 3.4-PAO I get; Card inserted, slot 0 card0: assign ep0 iobase 0x260 irq 7 ep0: utp/bnc[*UTP*] address 00:60:08:92:be:73 I did a binary 3.4-R upgrade on this laptop and then cvsup-ed PAO, which is now based on a 3.4-R kernel (in general I find the cvsuped PAO kernel less of a pain to maintain than the patching method). Seems to have worked quite well. P. -- pir pir@pir.net pir@net.tufts.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
