The pcic modules is *KNOWN* to have and cause problems.  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.

The building of modules/pcic was removed from /sys/modules/Makefile.
Check the history on that file.

STOP USING IT!!!  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.
