I think that as part of boot we specifically kill the power on all the pccard slots. I may be mistaken about this. One cannot boot off the cdrom for FreeBSD and then mount the root partition from the cdrom. We don't support that for pccard (or usb) at this time. Other than that, I think that these devices will work with -current and -stable. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
