Nope, it doesn't. > Should I run -current? Is the pccard support & apm support in > -current stable? It's more stable, but a panic shouldn't occur in either case. However, I have a pretty good idea what is causing the panic (I found the case a couple weeks ago). It's not yet in the -current source tree, although you can use the options 'APM_DSVALUE_BUG' if you want to see if the APM support works on your laptop. The rest of the pccard stuff is still 'work in progress'. I just posted some diffs to the freebsd-mobile list in the last couple days to help merge in the Nomad PCCARD support into FreeBSD, so work is progressing, albeit slowly. If you subscribe to the mobile mailing list you should be 'in-the-know' as things change, as I'm trying to keep folks informed on that mailing list. Nate
