Drew emailed me and I don't know if it was meant to be private or if he also meant to CC it to the list. My appologies if it was supposed to be private.

I think a few weeks ago Warner changed -CURRENT to use NEWCARD by default. OLDCARD is probably what you are using. > should i add your lines to my kernel config?

Fortunatly for me, my PCMCIA stuff has almost always worked "out of the box". Is this a laptop? How many PCMCIA slots do you have? Do you happen to know for sure what chipset your controller is? I opened my laptop when I was having similar issues and found it was a PD6729. Maybe if you have a PD6730 they could have some minor differences that could cause this? I am just guessing. I am basically reitterating what Kevin has said, but from your dmesg output, you have five lines regarding pcic1. These lines are giving it all the same values that are in the GENERIC kernel. If you were to really need the pcic1 controller, you should only need the "en pcic1" line from my understanding. However, the kernel is not finding pcic1, only pcic0. That seems normal to me, because you probably only have one PCMCIA controller. I would suggest removing those five lines from /boot/kernel.conf and see what happens. Something that confused me at first, but is really quite simple is the difference between the controllers and devices. pcic0 and pcic1 are different *controllers*. Each pcic *controller* controls two pccard *devices*, pccard0 and pccard1. If you had a second *controller*, then you would also have *devices* called pccard2 and pccard3. Hope this is some help.
