He mentioned that he was sure ** he knew of some people using CURRENT on 7000's. ** ** I'm looking for anyone who has this laptop and uses ANY version ** of FBSD, and if it's possible, some details on how you got ** the card sockets to detect properly. The 7000's use a ** TI-1220 Cardbus contoller wiht a Carbus/ISA bridge (like ** most do), so anyone using that particular contoller might ** be able to help us also. ** ** We don't mind which version we install, we've tried STABLE and ** CURRENT without much sucess thus far. ** ** Thanks in advance for any help. ** ** -- ** ---------------------- ** Pat Wendorf ** beholder@unios.dhs.org ** ICQ: 1503733 ** --------------------- ** ** ** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org ** with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ** ** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
