Same experince here, using a Sager AMD laptop, TI cardbus controller and I've tried many different wifi based cards. But lets stop the press for a second and get a recap of what versions of pcic drivers are integrated in which releases and a roadmap of which release the pcic driver is supposed to be completed in? Which types of cardbus controllers are to be expected to be tested? Note that my setup was also working back in the old releases like Stuart and broke just about the same timeline he describes. So the big question is where is this all going? ---Bob This message posted from opensolaris.org
