I find that argument a bit difficult to swallow, given that Lose/95 seems to have zero problems seeing the PCMCIA slots, while FreeBSD, even with PAO, can see them perhaps 10% of the time. If it's broken hardware, how come the crap garbageware from Redmond can handle it? I'd love to help debug this problem, but I have no idea where to even start on it. -- Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
