Something my have broken since then, but I get NEWCARD to work with the following in /boot/loader.conf: hw.cbb.start_memory="0x20000000" hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" My kernel config is: device cbb device pccard device cardbus It was not happy with ACPI, so I am running APM. My Xircom card seems quite happy there. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
