When combined with the > above, it makes it difficult to test changes to pccard.conf. You can kill/restart pccardd. However, the 'long' bootup time is a good thing, in that the cards are now completely configured before the system continues on. Before, they just 'showed up' whenever, so if you had network settings and such the system went on w/out knowing it was on the network. Yes, it's slower, but it's safer. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
