Hi,

  I've changed my pccard.conf and used (by mistake) a device not
compiled in the kernel.  Say, "sio2", when I had compiled only sio0
and sio1.  I know I should not have done that, but panicing the system
was not a polite way of telling such.  :)

  Also, most times my FreeBSD (-current from july end) does not detect
the removal of a pccard.  If I reenter the card (or even another one),
it detects the removal and the insertion.  It's not a hardware
problem, since Win95 DTRT.  Is this a know bug (instability) in the
pccard subsystem ?

  Oh, why not talk about all problems I've seen ?  :)  Using a Adaptec
SlimScsi from a friend I noted that removing and reinserting the card
creates a second scsi bus (scbus1).  Removing it again freezes the
system in a error loop.  Does the CAM subsystem support bus removal ?

  If that matters, my notebook is a Toshiba CDS 305, and the pccard is
the Xircom modem that comes with it.
