As Brooks Davis eruditely pointed out recently, no, FreeBSD doesn't have any CardBus support at the moment. It's coming, but didn't make it in 4.0. That said, there are CardBus controllers which work in bridge mode, like the one on my VAIO. You might want to (a) install FreeBSD off the CDs, (b) configure your custom kernel. v/r -scooter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
