HTML tends to annoy many. As to your problem, you need to provide quite a bit more information: 1. "uname -a" output (FreeBSD version information) The code for PCMCIA cards has changed radically over the past few months. 2. Kernel config file 3. /etc/rc.conf file 4. /etc/pccard.conf file (if any) 5. Output of "dmesg" showing the boot and device probes. 4. Output of "pccardc dumpcis SLOT" where SLOT is 0 or 1 depending on the slot into which the card is inserted. (In you case I don't expect anything.) 5. Specific information on what card you are using. (Note: FreeBSD does not yet support CardBus (32-bit) cards. If the card is not marked as 16 or 32 bit, look at the metal strip on the connector. If it's smooth, it's probably 16 bit. If it has evenly spaced bumps, it's probably CardBus. CardBus support is coming in V5 and maybe sooner, but it's not there at this time. You should not have pcic devices but you should have card devices (/dev/card0, /dev/card1, etc.). R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
