Is there a crib sheet somewhere for translating CIS dumps into : working pccard.conf entries? I just posted one. Basically, you just need to translate the mfg and version strings in the CIS into the first line of the entry. Next, try the following line: config auto "sio" ? and see if that will properly pickup the card. Otherwise try the config entries one at a time until you find one that works. 0x23 is typical. However, make sure the realport card isn't cardbus. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
