The problem with your office can be solved by updating to a recent 4-STABLE which will has a new /etc/pccard_ether that uses ifconfig_<device> arguments and only uses pccard_ifconfig for compatability. For the wavelan, I don't know of any way to select a config based on the slot you are in, but you might take a look at: http://www.one-eyed-alien.net/~brooks/FreeBSD/config802.diff which contains some code for automaticaly selecting a wireless config. It's not very up to date and will require manual integration into /etc/pccard_ether, but it did work OK work wi cards in infrastructure mode last time I used it. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
