I really appreciate all the hard work you and others have done in geting the pccard changes in. It just seemed odd that it worked with 4.0 and doesn't now with 4.2R. I now understand why it is like this, I understand how to work around it, and the box is happily running now so it's all good. :) # No clue.

This laptop doesn't belong to me either and right now I'm having a hard enough time drumming up the money to fix the boxes that got toasted in a storm here at the house or I might just loan/buy you one to see it get fixed. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
