It shouldn't make *ANY* difference whatsoever if it's in polling mode or not, unless the PCIC is so overloaded such that 'polling' slows down the interrupt generation by the PCMCIA card. > I've added irq 10 to the pcic line (Windows tells me this is the correct > one) It's irrelevant what Windows uses, except as a guide. > and cards are detected correctly during boot and work fine.

However, FreeBSD is no longer 'polling for the insert/removal' status. How fast is the box in question?
