I don't have this problem on my wireless gateway. At least not the insert first problem. I do have the it must be in the top slot problem :-). From my dmesg: ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0 ed0: address 00:c0:f0:3d:6f:49, type NE2000 (16 bit) wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 1 on pccard1 wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:01:99:b3 Of course, both of them were inserted at boot. Is the restirction some software thing, or just the physics of insertion? Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
