Warner told you this and you still insist on pushing the issue. Why? NO FreeBSD developer uses the pcic *module*, thus it is quite unwise for you to be using it as we no longer test it or keep it in sync with the rest of the kernel. > >: What's going on here?

I disabled it in -STABLE and -CURRENT quite some time ago. How is it you are even compiling and installing it? Please statically compile it into your kernel so developer's time isn't wasted on this. We have known problems for PCIMCA modems and that is where the pccard developer's time needs to be spent. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
