I upgraded my system to 4.0 over the weekend, and while
I was doing it I though to try out the new install. When
the PCMCIA configure menu came up, I selected the choice
that ignores irq5 - but it didn't. pccardd kept trying
to put my card at irq5, and of course the driver timed
out. I tried the other two choices (ignore 10/11 and
ignore 11) and none of them worked. In the end I booted
DOS and ftp'd the files. I installed from the DOS
partition just fine, and then edited pccard.conf.sample
to exclude irq5. The /etc/defaults/rc.conf started
pccardd with -i 5 and  -i 10, but it still wanted to
attach the card at irq5. I set it up in /etc/rc.conf to
start with no flags and use the newly-modified
pccard.conf file and it works great. Any ideas on why
this could have been?
