Some of this may be old news, but I just thought I'd report my experiences
upgrading my laptop to 4.0-stable yesterday.

#1. First, here's a new entry for pccard.conf:

    # PreMax PE-200 Ethernet Card
    card "PMX   " "PE-200"
	    config  auto "ed0" 11 0x10
	    ether   0x7f0
	    insert  logger -t pccard:$device -s PREMAX PE-200 inserted
	    insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device
	    remove  logger -t pccard:$device -s PREMAX PE-200 removed
	    remove  /sbin/ifconfig $device delete

#2. This card requires a 1024 memory block, but a bug in pccardd causes
    the allocation to always fail...

    Of course, now that the card works again I can see that this is
    already fixed in -current, pccardd/util.c rev. 1.14.

    Would someone care to MFC please?

#3. My USR modem card used to work with PAO. Now when I try to talk
    to it (using 'tip') the laptop completely freezes.. such that
    only a power cycle wakes it up. Here are the messages that appear:

	pccardd[66]: Card "U.S. Robotics"("XJ/CC1336") matched "U.S. Robotics" ("XJ/CC1336") 
	pccardd[66]: Assign sio1, io 0x2f8-0x2ff, mem 0x0, 0 bytes, irq 3, flags 0 
	/kernel: sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 slot 1 on pccard1
	/kernel: sio1: type 8250
	pccard:sio1: U.S. Robotics XJ/CC1336 inserted

Thanks,
-Archie
