Yes, I have compiled my kernel with pccard support. Your comment about software-recognized com ports (rather than physical ports) makes sense given the problems I am having. When FreeBSD is unable to detect anything other than sio0 (which is actually the physical port on the back of the computer), pccardd cannot detect the card modem (which is not a winmodem). When FreeBSD does detect sio2, pccardd correctly detects the card, but then it says it cannot allocate resources for the card - a whole other problem I was going to tackle next. What can I do to resolve this serial port problem, or is this another instance of a computer being designed for windows and nothing else?
