Or should hotplugging Expresscards work? X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:19:28 -0000 I'm using an ExpressCard for wireless networking because there seems to be no driver for the internal card in my laptop (and NDIS panics the system). The Expresscard shows up as a PCI device and works fine, except that it must be in the system at boot time to be recognized. Judging by old posts I found on the topic, it appears that automated hotplugging of PCI devices is probably still work in progress, but is there a way to manually have the system rescan for PCI devices so I don't have to reboot when I insert the network card? I'm using 8.0 RELEASE amd64. Thanks! -- -- Bob Johnson fbsdlists@gmail.com
