Hello,

I had success with my old laptop and FreeBSD 5.x now. I compiled a new 
set of installation floppies with the pccard daemon and using

     device      pcic
     device      card

instead of

     device      cbb
     device      pccard
     device      cardbus

in the kernel. The old pccard bus driver uses a polling mode if he is 
not able to map an IRQ. It seems like that the new driver won't do this. 
Is there a specific reason why this was not implemented? Is this still 
possible or isn't it worth because too less hardware demands it anymore?

Thanks in advance
Björn
