No PCMCIA stuff. Hardware on the M was supported last time I used it with FreeBSD. Not sure what ethernet chip is in the Plus or Pro. The Visionbook Pro has PCMCIA, but it's on a TI 1131 PCI to PCMCIA CardBus bridge, which wasn't supported under Freebsd 2.2.6. I haven't looked to see if it is supported in later versions (while the Visionbook has built-in ethernet and built-in modem, I was hoping to use the PCMCIA card for Wavelan wireless LAN, and could not; my project is currently using a modified 2.2.6, and I wasn't willing to wander too far from it).
