It completely locks up the PCMCIA ports when inserted, to the point that other cards won't work either until the system is rebooted. After looking at the change logs, I decided the problem was probably introduced on (IIRC) April 22 when a lot of changes to the attach code were made. I CVSUPed down to RELENG_4_3 and things work OK again (except that I can't get the D-Link card to use encryption). - Bob > Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
