Do I try and get the PIX to be : recognized as a Cardbus bridge or do I have to hack the wi driver some more? I think that your adapter is like the PLX adapter that the wi driver uses. You'll need to hack the wi driver to recognize the vendor. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
