I seem to have two problems: First, if I compile PCIC support into the kernel and enable PCCARD support in /etc/rc.conf, I end up with a system where the kernel has PCIC support AND I load the PCIC kernel modules at boot time. Both modules seem to detect my PCMCIA controller just fine, except only the loaded module seems to work. It detects cards in slots 2 and 3. Slots 0 and 1 are apparently allocated to the built in kernel driver. If I compile a kernel without PCIC support, the module load fails at boot time (Invalid exec format). On to the second problem. If I decide to ignore the fact that freebsd thinks my laptop has 4 PCMCIA slots and that only slots 2 and 3 work, I can start pccardd. pccardd tends to be unhappy because my PCMCIA ether card uses the ep driver, which I have compiled into the kernel. For some reason, neither it nor the sio driver are detected at boot time as valid PCMCIA drivers (not that I care about the sio driver). The ed driver is detected fine, but I have no need for that driver...*sigh*. So, any ideas? I had this all working a month ago... -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
