I use PC Card and CardBus cards all = the time. The Xircom patch in question should be in -current already. = I likely haven't MFC'd it. There are two classes of problems lingering = from the old days: the Xircom one (where a certain type of CIS fails, = but so far one Xircom card is the only one that has it). The second is = the inability to find what resources the Host Bridge decodes, so you = need to hack it with the memory ranges manually. John Baldwin recently = committed a fix for newer ACPIs that would solve this, if only older = ACPIs implemented it... Part of the problem here is that my primary laptop no longer is CardBus = based, so problems linger longer than I like to see... All my fast = laptops have died, and I'm stuck with ancient, slow ones with dying = batteries that work poorly these days... Warner
