Hi
Are all pccard supported in FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE supported in 5.0-CURRENT?

In FreeBSD-CURRENT I can not detect and enable
my "NETGEAR MA401 Wireless PC" "Card".
But in 4.6-RELEASE it is working fine.

In CURRENT, on bootup no pccardd gives no signs
of knowing the card is inserted.

The output of some commands:

# pccardc dumpcis
1 slots found
# pccardc power 0 1
# pccard dumpcis
Configuration data for card in slot 0
Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0
1 slots found
...
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
...
Jul  6 00:23:23  pccardd[88]: No card in database for "(null)"("(null)")
...

In 4.6-RELEASE pccardd detects (without manual power on):
Jul 27 00:41:06 pccardd[50]: Card "NETGEAR MA401 Wireless PC"("Card")
[Version 01.00] [] matched "NETGEAR MA401 Wireless PC" ("Card") [(null)]
[(null)]

I have the same /etc/defaults/pccard.conf, /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.pccard in
5.0 as in 4.6

I have an Compaq Evo N160 (an laptop) with an NetGear MA401 Wireless
Network.
First I installed 4.6-RELEASE but I got no APM because the Evo N160
uses ACPI which is not supported in FreeBSD 4-X so I desided to test
5.0-CURRENT.
After some trouble with keyboard and screen which was solved by staticly
compile the hints in kernel I was able to login.
I did one try with NEWCARD but it seems not working at all with
pccardc/pccardd

Thanks in advance
