The driver then does a hard reset and normally all is well. I have a fix for this, amongst other things. You can try to apply all the patches from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/50644 yourself, or wait for these patches to be committed, which I expect to happen soon. > try to invoke this command > pccardc dumpcis but came out 0 slots found Are you running an OLDCARD kernel? I'm not sure that dumpcis works with NEWCARD yet.
