I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 on a Toshiba Portege 7010CT with X Window 4.2. I've used this system with an Cisco Aironet 350 wireless card with the 'an' driver with no problems. However, when I started to use a Linksys Instant Wireless (WPC11-CA ver.3), pccardd could not configure the card; I get the following message: pccardd{50}: driver allocation failed for The Linksys Group, Inc.(Instant Wireless Network PC Card): Device not configured Once I remove the card and then reinsert it, pccardd succeeds in allocating the 'wi' driver and I could connect to the wireless network (this is slightly inconvenient, but it's not the end of the story). After a few minutes of browsing the net using Opera for FreeBSD, the whole system freezes. when I remove the Linksys Wireless card it is very HOT! In fact, I think that I already burned one this way?!! Now the card can not be configured no matter how many times I reinsert it. I went back to the store and got a new card (same brand and model). This time I managed to remove the card before it burned down. Anyone, had a similar problem? Is it even possible to burn down the card by a wrong software configuration? Please help.
