Re: PCI -> PCMCIA Adapter woes.

Hello,  I have found this problem with the TI 1211 under FreeBSD 4.6 as
well.  Being our main socket series, I took took a look through the pcmcia
kernel code and added the code nessesary to get it working.  I'll see if I
can figure out BSD's diff system and get a patch posted to the list.

Thanks,
Tony Toole
