I'm getting a laptop, and will be installing FreeBSD on it so I can get some work done. I've been reading up on FreeBSD and PAO, but have a few questions. It seems that the stock FreeBSD 2.2.5 non-PAO kernel has PCMCIA and APM support built in. If true, what does PAO get me? Better power management? A wider range of PCMCIA support? Also, I want to get a 3Com 3C575-TX Fast Etherlink XL 10/100 PCMCIA adapter. My chosen laptop supports CardBus and I already have a PCMCIA modem, so the 10/100 capability is a plus. Is this card at all supported? Even if it is only supported to the point of 10Mbit connectivity right now, that'd work. Thanks.
