I have a notebook commonly called "Chandra II" (*1), which has TI
CardBus bridge.
I tried "plain" 3.1-stable, but I could not use PC-cards with plain
3.1-stable. Next, I tried 3.1-RELEASE with PAO3, then I can use
PC-cards very well.
Since "Chandra II" is very very popular notebook in Japan, and
I have heard that many notebooks DO NOT work with "plain" FreeBSD,
your idea
> Some models may not work, but many do.
is WRONG. correct is:
o Many models does not work with "plain" FreeBSD.
o WE SHOULD INTEGRATE PAO INTO FREEBSD DISTRIBUTION.
*1: Chandra II
Many hardware manufactures (IBM, Hitachi, etc.) sell this model
in Japan.
