I had my dwl-650 pccard (no pci adapter) working in 4.2-STABLE from early February. Last night (5 June) I updated to 4.3-STABLE and now I'm seeing the same thing you reported. Also, after I insert and remove the DWL-650, my wired ethernet pccard (LinkSys 10/100) doesn't work, either. I have to power down and reboot to get things working again. If no one has any suggestions, I guess I'll try going back to the 21 April -STABLE (just before if_wi.c had significant changes to the attach code) and see if it works then. Very tedious... - Bob > Below I have included output from dmesg, the dumpcis from pccardc, and > the entry in my version of pccard.conf.
