You'd be right, if you were right. :-) Pccardd expects what you said, but defaults/rc.conf configures it to read pccard.conf.sample. In other words, what is used is the .sample file, *NOT* the customized version, unless you change that in /etc/rc.conf[.local]. > It doesn't strike me as a candidate for /etc/defaults/ unless it is made > to include /etc/pccard.conf if it exists and override and config entries > that are duplicated (i.e. if it were truly just defaults that could be > overridden).

The .sample file is being read because we need pccardd ok for sysinstall from pcmcia ethernet cards. -- Daniel C.
