I use a limited set of pcmcia cards (waveland > and a modem card) but they work all of the time. I also have a Dell Inspiron 5000 and it works flawlessly and the installation was a breeze with no real problems ... I am currently in the process of getting an IBM T21 and a Dell Latitude C800. I'll keep the one I like and return the one I do not. I do have two problems w/ the 5000 though, it uses one of those touchscreen mouse devices and only has two buttons. Personal preferrence thing I know, but I prefer the IBM setup of a goober and three buttons. If I keep the Dell I will probably use an external mouse of some kind. I am hoping that the current IBM T21 problems are resolved or a work-around developed so I can get a fair comparison ... -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
