After this message, I'm going to read the -current archives regarding pccard. Second, it should be noted that I don't see how I could ever have used the pcic module.. if you disabled it before September 29, then it must have been kernel support. My old logs show no indication that any module was loaded before, so if the 9/29 kernel worked, why doesn't the current kernel work with my pccard? I made the appropriate changes that Warner mentioned in the cvs logs for src/sys/pccard/pccard.c, v1.89, as I said before. Third, part of my confusion is due to /etc/rc.pccard, which seems to attempt to load the module. Since I received no errors before (in the 9/29 world/kernel) about kldload failing, it seems like there WAS indeed a pcic.ko module (because now, since there is no module, kldload gives an error on booting up: "can't find module pcic".) I would never use any deprecated software. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
