Hmmm... 3.1R was requested -- no PAO. And part of me seems to
believe that if PAO were all that much more stable *and* functional than
pccard, it would have been accepted onto the main branch.
Be that as it may...
On a HP OmniBook 4100 under 3.1-STABLE (3.1-RELEASE has some "issues"
which are resloved in -STABLE) I have running with the noted mods:
apm -- flags 0x0 to obtain v1.2 support
3COM 3CC156B -- proper pccard.conf entry
Linksys 10/100 Ethernet -- Satoshi Asami's if_ed.c patches -- a FreeBSD
development team member, FWIW
I used to have a URL for the "latest" version of the patches, but they can
be found by searching the FreeBSD-Mobile archives:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/search.cgi?words=asami+AND+if_ed&max=25&sort=date&source=freebsd-mobile
The only issue I have is that sleeping the machine seems to disable
detection of card insertion after awakening. So I just don't unplug
cards after sleeping. (Hey, that's in NT too, it must be a "feature!")
Hope this helps,
Jeff
