Kevin, Thanks for the reply, when you say that I would just have to enable the second controller do you mean the second slot on the first contoller,(i.e. slot 1 on pcic0) or pcic1? If they are both on pcic0 then I just need to enable pccard1, correct? How do I do that? trev -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Oberman [mailto:oberman@es.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 4:15 PM To: Trevor Osatchuk Cc: 'mobile@FreeBSD.org' Subject: Re: second pccard slot not working > From: Trevor Osatchuk <Trevor.Osatchuk@pscl.com> > Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 15:46:11 -0700 > Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG > > I have 4.4-Release running on a 308d Thinkpad.

So, the kernel sees > two cards, but only enables one? Compile a new kernel? You are correct. Each pcic controls two slots and the second controller is normally for the slots in a docking station or port expander. In any case, the kernel would not need a rebuild. You would just have to enable the second controller. I know that Warner had some problems with the Cirrus Logic CardBus controller and I also recall that there was a problem with only a single slot working. I don't recall any details. It's possible that updating to stable might fix things, but I'm not at all certain. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
