I think that only happens when inserting a dual-speed card into a 10 Mbit/s only network. IIRC, when plugging it into a 100 Mbit/s hub, it works immediately. > I also have noticed that if I boot the machine with the card in the > slot, the kernel is unable to attach, but slotting it after pccardd > is up works fine. I have never observed such a problem under 4.x, also with an "Intel" version. (Under 5.x, this is usually the case unless the driver is hard linked into the kernel or pre-loaded from /boot/loader, but that's a problem of devd not causing an artificial "nomatch" event upon startup for any cards where the kernel didn't already find a driver.) -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
