If you're interested in -CURRENT, you should be tracking FreeBSD-current@FreeBSD.org. This list (-questions) specifically excludes discussion of -CURRENT. I suppose the answer is probably "suck it and see". There is some CardBus support in -CURRENT, but you have to build a special kernel, and you currently won't be able to use non-CardBus PCMCIA cards in it. This is a temporary situation, but it should indicate that at the moment CardBus is very much reserved for the brave and fearless. I have CardBus cards, and I do a fair amount of work on this area, but I haven't got round to building a CardBus kernel yet. > I'm using 4.2-20010104-STABLE and pccardd reports: "No card in database > for "(null)"("(null)") Yes, it would. 4-STABLE doesn't support CardBus. > More generally, how do I find out what hardware is supported? There are a number of places. /usr/src/UPDATING contains an ongoing list of changes to the branch. /usr/src/release/texts/HARDWARE.TXT contains a list of supported hardware, but especially in -CURRENT it might not be up to date.
