The first card works fine, regardless of what card > or what slot I use. Does the problem only occur with two cards of the same type, or does it occur with _any_ two cards? I suspect this is pccardd trying to allocate an IRQ to the card. It might be I/O space as you mention, but I had similar problems with 4.2-RELEASE on a Libretto that were related to IRQs. Examine the output of dmesg to see what IRQs are used. If the "irqs" list in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf does not match your _available_ IRQs, override it in /etc/pccard.conf Hope this helps __ David Burren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
