I find it a bit implausible that the fact that I've had apparent PCMCIA-related crashes at least a half-dozen times in two months with FreeBSD and at most twice over a span of four years with Linux does not in some way reflect a difference between the operating systems, rather than random luck. A 70x incidence rate strongly suggests causality to *me*. Of course, I *am* running the straight-up 4.2 support, not the new PCCARD support. But I'd expect that to *help* with stability for the cards where it works at all.
