Hi,

Around six weeks ago, there were some fixes Warner put in to -CURRENT so 
that Cardbus cards would be recognized at boot time on laptops such as 
my own (Inspiron 5100) instead of having to re-insert the card (as it 
would throw up "cbb0: Cardbus activation failed" otherwise) after the 
system finishes booting.

That was working all fine and well, until just over two weeks ago, when I 
updated to the latest -CURRENT cut...  Ever since then, Cardbus refuses 
to work at all.  (My old PC Card wireless NIC still works fine)  It just 
repeatedly spurts out "cbb0: Cardbus activation failed" when 
(re)inserting the Atheros based Cardbus NIC I had been using quite 
successfuly before.

Have there been any changes to the Cardbus support in the last couple of 
weeks?  One side effect is that FreeBSD now detects the onboard Broadcom 
NIC again (It hadn't been detected since the MB on this laptop was 
replaced by Dell tech support earlier this year)  Because of this, I did 
try to disable the onboard NIC to see if that fixed the Cardbus 
detection, but to no avail. :)

Best Wishes - Peter
