It's definitely supported, but the PCCARD changes in 4.4 seem to disagree with it on many systems... I haven't had time to look into this properly yet. Try this: sysctl -w machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd0000 then insert the card (you may need to kill & restart pccard as well). If 0xd0000 doesn't work, you could also try 0xd4000 and 0xd8000, maybe 0xcc000. When/if you find the address that works, you can have it set at boot time with a line in /boot/loader.conf: machdep.pccard.mem_start="0xd0000" or whatever. This Google thread has some more info on this problem: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&frame=right&th=27c71d72388fe8bd&seekm=20020114214233.000445D1A_ptavv.es.net%40ns.sol.net#link1 Do other cards work for you on this machine?
