They work just fine after a BIOS upgrade on the net4501 handle the CardBus bridge interrupt correctly. Here is what it looks like on a net4501: pcic0: <TI PCI-1410 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0xa0000000-0xa0000fff irq 10 at devi ce 16.0 on pci0 pcic0: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [pwr save][pci only] pccard0: <PC Card bus (classic)> on pcic0 ... pccard: card inserted, slot 0 wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:25:5c:f3 It probes as a "Dell" "TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card" John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
