 Hello All,
 
 After years I had to use PCMCIA/CardBus Ethernet card with FreeBSD and I 
 was surprised my card is not working.
 After some Googling I realized it is well-known problem with FreeBSD & 
 PCBSD.
 
 I have collected some cards and tested present PCMCIA/CardBus support on 
 our training Thinkpad T400 notebooks.
 
 All cards work with OpenBSD4.4-4.5-4.6-4.7, NetBSD5.0.2, Linux, 
 WindowsXP/Vista/7
 
 NONE OF THEM WORK with present FreeBSD versions
 tested with
 - FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE i386 and amd64
 - FreeBSD-8-STABLE i386 and amd64
 
 I have tried the follwing cards:
 - NEC Aterm WL300NC
 - Cisco Aironet 350
 - Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480B
 - NetGear GA511
 - Xircom CreditcCard Ethernet 100/100
 - SanDisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter
 - SAnDisk CompactFlash PC Card Adapter
 - Toshiba PCMCIA Flash 640MB
 
 Some of them is my own card and was used regularly without any problem 
 up to FreeBSD 6.x.
 I have payed around with sysctl hw.cbb but without any success.
 The patch in this thread cannot be applied in FreeBSD 8.x any more.
 
 So FreeBSD is the only present Operating system that has only virtual 
 PCMCIA/CardBus support effectively NOTHING.
 The problem is well known for a long time and nothing happens.
 
 I do no really understand why the FreeBSD project have not officially 
 announced finishing the PCMCIA/CardBus support.
 
 Regards
 
 Ferenc Balku
