Well, after messing around with FreeBSD and PAO (2.2-GAMMA-970310) on a Dell 
Latitude LM for a couple of days, I have mostly good news, and a little not 
so good news. 

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. Good
work, guys!

Information for the Motorolla Montana:

---/etc/pccard.conf---

	# Motorola Montana Card
	card "Motorola" "Montana V.34 FAX/MODEM"
		config 0x21 "sio2" any
		insert echo Motorola MONTANA Modem inserted
		remove echo Motorola MONTANA Modem removed

----------------------

Here's what I have for the SMC Card (modified from the default information in 
the PAO /etc/pccard.conf) . I can't really make heads or tails of the dumpcis 
output.

------ /etc/pccard.conf ------

	# SMC EliteCard Ethernet
	card "SMC" "PCM Ethernet Adapter"
	#	config default "sn0" any
		config 0x1 "sn0" any
		ether megahertz
		insert echo Untested card inserted. please e-mail the result to hosokawa@jp.FreeBSD.org
		insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
		remove /etc/pccard_ether_remove $device

-------------------------------

As I said before, this causes a floating-point error in the kernel. Here's
the dumpcis output...again, any help would be appreciated.
