I'll experiment with setting pccardd_flags=-z vs the sleep, on Monday. BUT, it is wrong to not have either because all these network things start during boot up w/o a network. Clearly the sleep is lame, so since you've been officially hacking pccard support (in the kernel) why don't you fix /etc/defaults/rc.conf to do: pccardd_flags=-z > > Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
