For PCIC support on V5, you need to build an OLDCARD kernel. There is a sample configuration for OLDCARD in /sys/i386/conf and it only entails changing a few lines. Basically you remove cbb, pccard, and cardbus and add pcic and card. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
