Nate Williams supplied a patch (which is documented in the PR database) which makes the PCIC use a polled mode of operation. It solved my problem. The same problem happens with FreeBSD 4.0 and I asked Nate if he could update his patch. he can't because he's no longer working in this area and he suggested I try this mailing list (which I am not on) to see if anyone can help. The new code in 4.0 is rather different from the 3.x version and I can't find the appropriate patch... In more detail the symptoms are that the card is recognised if in the machine at startup, but not even detected as a inserted card if done later. -- David Pick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
