In /etc/pccard.conf you can configure a script to on on insert and remove for each card, so all you have to do is to write the two small scripts to do it. The special gyrations I had to do was because I used the ethernet card several different places, home, work &c... In your case you have two different cards for two different places, no worries :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
