(Cardbus devices are also supported as a subset of PCI.) This appears to be confusing to a number of users, as witnessed by the amount of questions about getting USB-attached adapters to work. Also note wrong capitalization of CardBus in the man page. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- ndis.4.orig Sun Jan 8 14:28:56 2006 +++ ndis.4 Sun Jan 8 14:32:45 2006 @@ -107,9 +107,8 @@ The .Nm driver is designed to support mainly Ethernet and wireless -network devices with PCI and PCMCIA bus attachments. -(Cardbus -devices are also supported as a subset of PCI.) +network devices.
