For non-laptop users, unfortunately these changes require that you must re-configure your kernel from scratch, due to some renaming that was done. Sorry, hopefully it won't happen again. If you aren't interested in laptop support you can ignore the rest of this message. For laptop people, I'm really getting swamped at work (my mini-vacation is probably over), so I stayed late and committed the changes to 2.2, hoping that it's at least better than what's there. What it means to you is that you'll need to get the sources from this evening's commit spree: 1) back out *any* PAO patches in /etc (customized pccard.conf are probably fine) 2) re-build/re-install your include files to pick up the kernel changes 3) Edit your kernel config file (if not using GENERIC) to change crd => card 4) Re-config, build, and install the new kernel (don't reboot yet). 5) Re-build and install the pccard utilities in usr.sbin/pccard 6) Reboot and cross your fingers Known bugs: 1) One person gets a crash in vget() when he inserts his cards. I have no idea what's causing this, but it may be due to other changes in -current 2) John Polstra's box hangs trying to suspend with his modem. We're guessing, but it may be due to his BIOS not allowing the machine to fully suspend. Error handling is still completely non-existant for things such as this, but we're getting better. :) 3) PCI/CardBUS machines are not yet supported. When I get some more time. 4) Some machines don't recognize PCMCIA modem cards because of bad hardware. PAO disables a # of tests, but we're not doing that in the base distribution. I believe there is a way to have failed tests ignored, but I don't know the specifics. I'll be checking email on/off tonight, so if something is really hosed up I want to know. Thanks, and good luck! Nate
