Well, I tried setting some of the values suggested in the 4.4 release-notes (in /boot/loader.conf) and wasn't getting anywhere, when suddenly I was seized with "it couldn't make a difference, but" and moved the unrecognized pccard from the upper slot to the lower ... and voila! upon pressing it into place, was rewarded with instantaneous recognition of the card as a 3C589D, rather than the "null""null" indicated by the bootup messages ... wtf???? As long as it works ... but ... Thanks, Glenn > > So pccardd is starting but somehow the card is not getting recognized > > correctly? Or ... what?
