Certainly something in the trouble shooting > guide or writing the PCMCIA section of the handbook would help out (unless > they have for 4.3). No, you don't need it every boot. One you change it, the settings get written into the /boot/kernel.conf file. Then even if your kernel config keeps it in polling mode, these kernel.conf settings "overrive.". I configured mine in a "hardwired" mode after the initial installation "just because." I haven't grepped the handbook specifically for laptop issues (to see how much is or is not there) but it certainly is a good idea. > It is also the same under 4.2R.

At the very least I'll file a PR for it. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.
