Alvin, Some of the settings included in the GENERIC kernel are not optimal for a laptop. I would try building a custom kernel with: options PNPBIOS device pcic0 at isa? device ed This will get both devices off of IRQ 10, which may already be used by the PCI bus. Also, verify that the io and irq values in pccard.conf are reasonable for your machine. On my laptop only irq 9 and 11 are available; io 0x110-0x160 0x180-0x1e0 0x230-0x2e0 0x300-0x320 0x340-0x360 was my final answer. [The 3C589D likes 0x110-0x11f.] You need to verify what's right for your machine. Windows Device Manager will give you a very useful report of all resources used; if you don't have dual-boot you can fish the info out of dmesg. Always power down your machine when going from Windows back to FreeBSD, to keep the pccard slots happy. If that doesn't work I would report back the output of dmesg. Also, if you set up the Sony as dual-boot I would report back the output of the Device Manager's Print output. Hope this helps, Greg Smith >I have a little problem with driving the PCMCIA slot on my Sony VAIO.
