i can understand why you are confused! the card is carbus, the interface
chip is cardbus, but the bios on my hp800ct has a 'PCIC compatible' mode
setting in the bios.

however, this is going *quite* poorly in that i am getting a kernel panic
upon boot when i select this mode.

dang. i'll keep fiddling for a bit.

maybe this is a time to start running current. been running freebsd since
pre 1.0 days and have never run current....
