I haven't played with configuring it either (tips gratefully > received :) I've just finished some unsuccessful playing around with my CF adaptor in my I7500. It worked fine with -STABLE and -CURRENT up to the last build (end of December), but I upgraded to a recent -CURRENT with NEWCARD a couple of days ago, and now inserting the CF adaptor freezes the machine and causes it to reboot. Booting with the adaptor installed causes a panic during the probes. I'm still investigating, but I'll keep you posted. If you want, bring the equipment out here and we'll play around with it :-) Greg -- Finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key See complete headers for address and phone numbers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
