If you are using NEWCARD, there is no /devc/card0 and you don't run pccardd. If you look at /sys/i386/conf/OLDCARD, you will see that it includes "device card" while NEWCARD does not. If things are working correctly, compiling the kernel with OLDCARD should result in /dev/card0 being created so that pccardd can run. I am pretty sure that OLDCARD is required for ISA->pccard bridges at the moment, although it should go away down the road. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
