I might mention a few gotchas. As Kevin stated, read the pccardd docs. However you go about installing the system, snapshot or release, after you makeworld be sure to rebuild pccardd. Also read LINT on adding apm support. Otherwise you will run into things like shutdown -p not working. Pay particular attention to configuring /etc/rc.conf correctly. You will also need the kernel option options PCIC_RESUME_RESET # reset after resume in order for insert and remove to be recognized. These are just a few things that I had to sort out. Hope this helps. On another front, I have been running stable on my laptop for quite a while. Since I am usually connected to the net through a network card this is not a big problem, but my modem card is not supported. It is however in PAO. Is there an easy way of adding support for the card in Stable. I would state the make and model of the card but I don't have it handy.
