The obvious thing is to check for contents of your /etc/rc.conf file. Does it contain: pccard_enable="YES" I'd also strongly suggest: pccardd_flags="-z" If so, check for possible IRQ problems. The irq line in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf should list the available IRQs. If this does not match your reality, delete those IRQs that are in use. Look at dmesg and vmstat -i for information on what is in use. If it worked to install the system, it should work elsewhere. And, don't build a new stable for a few days. We are just entering code freeze for 4.4-Release and stable is less stable than it usually is due to the high volume of MFCs. (I hope you subscribe to stable@freebsd.org, so you are already aware of this.) Things should be back to fairly normal in about 3 days, I'd hope, as stable morphs to 4.4-BETA and 4.4-RC status prior to 4.4-Release. R.
