Ok, this is all im going to say about the latest attempts to go 3.1 on my CTX laptop, with a Netgear FA410TX card , in final notes, it works fine under 2.2.8-PAO, yet the cdrom is broken, and under 3.1 the cdrom works fine, but i cannot get the pcmcia card to work. final results.... I QUIT...... after a week of posts and suggestions, ive had TO GO BACK TO 2.2.8-PAO, after being defeated by a 3.1 install. Ive wiped the whole disk and started completely over with a fresh 2.2.8-PAO, and gotten back on the network also, Ive taken the cdrom completely out of the machine since it doesnt work under 2.2.8 and i am now using it as a paper weight to remind me of the fact that ive been beaten by a machine. Ive tried it all... even a clean 2.2.8-PAO install, downloading of the 3.1 release, a local upgrade to 3.1 and cvsupping the PAO3 tree..... not even that worked.... I give UP..... I have been beaten.... :( looks like this CTX laptop will remain 2.2.8-PAO until its death..... with no cdrom... ! Thanks to all that tried to help and gave me many suggestions...... i think somehow it is resource allocation by pccardd and the pccard.conf file that finalized the demise of 3.1.... Bruised and Beaten by a computer no less...... Kerberus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
