Huh? Which poster are you talking about? The original poster, to
which Eric was replying, has a *DESKTOP*; here's a (reformatted) quote:
... I have a Lucent WaveLAN Silver 11Mbps PCMCIA Card, a Texas
Instrument (chipset recognized as 1225) PCMCIA-PCI Cardbus
bridge (sold by lucent), a regular Desktop PC and FreeBSD
4.1-STABLE. ...
He never said that he has a laptop. As Eric said, this poster is
probably running into the TI1225 PCI-PCMCIA issue, which Warner has not
yet had the time to investigate/fix (I believe).
Now, there was a different poster (Andreas Braukmann
<braukmann@tse-online.de>), who does have a problematic laptop (a Sony
Vaio). Perhaps you're getting the two posters confused?
Interestingly enough, the symptoms of the two problems appear to
be the same. I can't help but wonder if the cause isn't, also.
