"pccardc power ? 0" option of pccardc in PAO can power down the PCMCIA cards without removal, but it also disables the corresponding device drivers (it only emulates removal of PCMCIA cards), and it won't back to the active status without using "pccardc power ? 1" manually again. Better implementation is desired but I have no idea. And I'm using this feature because it's useful in outdoor use. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Information Technology Center Keio University hosokawa@itc.keio.ac.jp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
