Yes, look at the -mobile archive, where this has been discussed. The problem has nothing to do with the i815 chipset, it's due to the pccard changes that went into 4.4-R. You can get around it by adding the following to /boot/loader.conf: hw.pcic.intr_path="1" hw.pcic.irq="0" You can also set it at the boot prompt when you boot up. -- jim mock http://soupnazi.org/ | jim@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
