When I insert my Aironet 4800 card, the machine hangs, but solid. (Keyboard and touchpad are ignored, processes which were producing output to the screen no longer do, and if I kill it with the power switch and reboot, it hangs after probing the parallel port unless I unplug the power and the battery first. Now that's a hung system!) The same hardware dual-boots Windows 2000 and the same Aironet card works fine there. The same hardware and card used to work under 3.4-RELEASE after I made a one-line change to the one of the files in the pccard driver to turn on both the + and - voltages before reading out the card data. (That was a departure from spec in my Aironet card. I'm afraid I didn't save the change but I'm pretty sure it was "slt->pwr.vpp = 50;" in inserted() in sys/pccard/pccard.c and is now incorporated into the source tree. Ah yes, I see it at RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE.) Here's uname -a ...
