Hello hackers, I have a problem with Xircom CEM56 (Ethernet + Modem) PC Card. I know it isn't really possible on 4.x to use both network & modem parts at the same time, but how to switch between them without rebooting? For example, if I've booted with pccardd configured for either, then I edit pccard.conf (a symlink to a real network or modem .conf file), and what next? kldunload if_xe.ko if loaded already, kill -s HUP [pccardd_pid] or just kill -9 [pccardd_pid] and restart don't seem to have a desired effect because kernel (pccard) complaints that it cannot attach more than one child. But upon rebooting it probes the hardware just fine. How may I reset pccard on the fly? A working solution is to pull the card and install it into a second slot, but I guess it's not the best idea, because after several such "swaps" I've got a page fault an a kernel panic... --- Regards, Rhett ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
