I'm using an ExpressCard for wireless networking because there seems to be no driver for the internal card in my laptop (and NDIS panics the system). The Expresscard shows up as a PCI device and works fine, except that it must be in the system at boot time to be recognized. Judging by old posts I found on the topic, it appears that automated hotplugging of PCI devices is probably still work in progress, but is there a way to manually have the system rescan for PCI devices so I don't have to reboot when I insert the network card? I'm using 8.0 RELEASE amd64. Thanks! -- -- Bob Johnson fbsdlists@gmail.com
