Thanks for the info.Can you tell me how to go about
setting the system for pccard support?I plan to make a
small testbed with a desktop and two laptops.So i also
need to know how to set up for a pci card.I know the
pci support is not easy and only in recent times have
some ppl able to get pci cards to work on freebsd.
