Anybody have any idea what to try next? Sure. Look in /etc/pccard.conf to determine the format of each card's description. (I'm doing this from memory, so my terminology will suck). Each card is described by a paragraph that looks like card "<regexp1>" "<regexp2>" <stuff> <stuff> <regexp1> is the manufacturer, <regexp2> is a description. Look in /var/log/messages for the turd that pccardd put in there logging the failure, and use that to start a ^card "..." "..." paragraph in pccardd.conf. You'll need to use pccardc to "dumpcis" the card to find out which config to use. Get your paragraph right, HUP pccardd, and you're cool! With those clues and TFM, you should be OK. :-) M -- Mark Murray Join the anti-SPAM movement: http://www.cauce.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
