It doesn't work with any of the FreeBSD drivers yet. Actually, it works with the pccard daemon and if_ep if you can figure out how to use it. The PAO distribution contains the most current documentation for it, but you can try 'man pccardd' and 'man pccardc'.

Hmm, maybe I forgot to add the pccard stuff to the Makefile. Nope, it turns out there isn't any manpage. Type 'pccardc' and you get a usage message which should help.

Here are the things that work: - Soundblaster Pro - touchpad mouse (as verified by moused and vidcontrol -m, although the screen flickers and dims somewhat (annoyingly) when the mouse moves) - floppy drive - IDE CDROM - Motorola Montana FAX/MODEM PCMCIA Card (see below) Things that do not work: - SMC EliteCard PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter Things not yet tested: - apm - X Windows Below is the config information for the Motorola card. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out with the SMC card, as it causes the kernel to crash with a FPE. I'll report on apm and X when I get the chance. All in all, I'm real happy with both the Latitude and FreeBSD/PAO.
