We release the new PC-card package based on FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP.
You can get it from

ftp://ryukyu.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/pub/FreeBSD/pccard/pccard-test-960506.tar.gz

(Note that we changed the ftp site because bash.cc.keio.ac.jp is
unstable these days.)

Please read

for details.

*1 Some cards or laptops needs modifications to /etc/pccard.conf, and
   some combinations of cards and laptops do not work.

*2 But, there are also some reports that US Robotics Modem cards can't
   be used with this package.

*3 This CD-ROM has PCIC in it, so it can't be hotplugged.  And, ATAPI
   CDROM is supported by 2.2-SNAP only.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are most of supported Ethernet cards of Linux PCMCIA package and
the cards whose chipset is supported by current FreeBSD PC-Card
package.

I think that most of these cards should work and I've already written
configurations for some of them in /etc/pccard.conf in this package,
but they are not tested.  If you have (or your friend has :-)) these
cards, please test them and e-mail me (hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp) the
result WHETHER THEY WORK OR NOT!!!  If you can't use these card with
this package, send me the following data.

1. Name of the card
2. Name of the chipset the card uses (if you can know that)
3. The result of "pccardc dumpcis" (kill pccardd before testing)
4. The result of "pccardc rdattr 0 0 10000" (if you inserted card into
   second slot, it's "pccardc rdattr 1 0 10000")
5. Your /etc/pccard.conf

Please put "[pccard-test]" on the head of the "Subject:" to pick it up
easily.
