You will get better response to this question if it's on the -mobile list.

That's less than wonderful; is there any other hardware in your system at 0x300? (unlikely, given that W95 puts it there). Have you tried the PAO boot floppy? > obviously i eliminated any conflicts in my kernel configuration > has anyone out there encountered any similar problems? Sorry, not with that card, no. But without knowing anything about your laptop, there are some other possibilities that might be significant. Most important of these is, if the system is a newer one, whether the PCCARD controller is in PCCARD or CARDBUS mode - we don't support many CardBus controllers, they need to be in PCCARD emulation mode. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
