Yes, but it Just Works on my 6000 (and my older 5700), which also had no option to set this... :-/ Time to get cranky with HP - although I seriously doubt it'll do much good. However, it'll also give me an opportunity to express my opinion of getting a stinkin' WinModem in a high-end laptop... > I think we need an improved pci framework to dole out resource ranges > in cases like this. > > Warner Gets my vote. I suspect that, as latops now only now ship with an OS capable of PNP, this sort of issue will become more and more prevalent. I only have a single device that has a problem - would hacking up something in /sys/pci/ that would recognise the device and attach/reserve the IO ports etc for the Maestro3 driver be feasible as an approach for a Q&D workaround? Oh, and Warner, thought you might be interested to note that the 6100 does /not/ seem to have any issues related to pccard/rebooting, despite having the identical PCIC (TI PCI-1420) to the 6000 (which /does/). Let me know if you'd like any verbose output or the like :) Cheers, AS --==_Exmh_-585755109P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE7w7OnPHh895bDXeQRAqh5AKC6tweF+lZEBkl/hMjefVA3HKhMSQCfWdrs 6hYVCDLg+xrfQYhnKtPb6wM= =1riN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-585755109P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
