I guess my misunderstanding came from having my orinoco card not work in 4.3 and then start working with 4.4, along with the statement in the release notes about new cardbus bridge support. I've seen a few wrong specs on the orinoco cards that claim they are cardbus. Since cardbus card support seems to be unlikely in the near future, I wonder if there would be support for porting OpenBSD's cardbus "hack" into freebsd for the time being? At least then we could use our cards in 16 bit mode. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
