Well folks, I'm stumped.

No matter what I try, all I get when I execute /stand/pccardd  is 

Card "Megahertz"("CC10BT/2") matched "Megahertz" ("CC10BT/2")
driver allocation failed for Megahertz (Device not configured)
pccardd started

For the sake of argument, I have disabled nearly every device in 
the BIOS and compiled a kernel with support for nothing but the 
absolute essentials, which left IRQs 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 & 11 all 
unused.  when I boot, the pccard controller takes 4 and pccardd 
starts, providing me with the above lines.

I have tweaked /etc/pccard.conf 40 different ways from Sunday, 
the config line being various permutations of

config 0x1 "sn0" ?
config 0x1 "sn0" any
config 0x3 "sn0" ?
config 0x3 "sn0" any
config default "sn0" ?
config default "sn0" any

0x1 & 0x3 are the two indexes reported by /stand/pccardc dumpcis, 
and I have also tried each of the above lines specifying every 
IRQ explicitly; nothing makes any difference.  For the sake of 
verbosity, I have even written the irq line as follows:

irq 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

I'm at the point now where I absolutely positively need a way 
out of this mess; if nobody can offer and suggestions/guesses 
as to the cause of all of this, perhaps someone can suggest a 
flavour of UNIX with which I may have more luck?  I really 
don't want to have to install SolarisPC. :)

Thanks for all the help so far, guys; still looking for that 
magic answer.

Best Regards,
Greg
