FreeBSD detects sio port on card, but does not detects PCMCI USB hub. Probably I also need to try http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/usb4bsd/index.html > 3) sutdown output is garbled.

Also I may say: - IBM dock station works for me - IBM special controls mostly works (brightness, think-light, volume, wireless) - PCMCI card slot works also - PCI Express slot looks like working, but I have no card to try - Bluetooth works as well - radeonhd xorg driver does almost everything I need, except 3D support, and it is not compatible with brightness control - SoftModem never works for me - Touchpad/stick works, even with synaptics driver under X, but some-times it stop responding -- Vladimir B.
