I just (this afternoon) bought an Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Mobile Adapter (16-bit version), and had a devil of a time getting it to work (same mode of failure: "driver allocation failed for Intel(EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16): Device not configured") until, following a hint I found in the archives, I added machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd0000 to /etc/sysctl.conf (both for -STABLE and -CURRENT). Works now. :-) Cheers, david -- David H.
