Hello,

In the old days of 1998 I've hacked together a patch to make
the OZ6832 CardBus bridge working, it was based on FreeBSD 2.2.6
and the helping hand of Nate Williams and others...

This notebook is still alive and sitting next to me (I'm just doing
a last and final DUMP at the moment); my idea is to add more
RAM and disk to it and install FreeBSD 5.4-REL on it as I did
with my Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO notebook and give it away to
my love.

Is this old OZ6832 CardBus stuff still alive in FreeBSD 5.4 or will
it work today without building a cardbus-kernel?

Thx

	matthias

attached below is a patch together with the MD5 value it should
have after uudecoding and unzipping; please have a look if it doesn't
break other chips (should not, but who knows :-));

	...

I'm running 2.2.6-RELEASE and also changed some lines in
the pcic_resume code; but the 3c589D isn't reloaded; will
look deeper into that; at the moment I have to load all
the nice ports and explore my new toy :-))

thanks for your assistance all the time;
