It is the modem device, and it is supported by FreeBSD, modulo a few
bugs in the driver attachment code at the moment.

I believe that's the "modem" device on the card.  I don't believe that it is 
in fact a normal serial port in any case, so it's worth just ignoring in my 
opinion.  (Witness the address 0.1, where the Ethernet was probably found at 
0.0).  Sound about right?

I removed apm from the kernel which appeared to be playing having with acpi
and things are now working a treat.  The card works fine, however I do
receive the following message, 'cardbus0:  (vendor=0x115d,
dev=0x0103) at 0.1 irq 5'.  I've had a look through various lists and
couldn't find a resolution.  Is this a real drama and if so, how do I
correct it?

Regards,

Scott

Well, I've used different versions of 5.0 on my laptop, and my
experience is that Cardbus devices don't like to be pulled out.
Everytime I've done it the system has hung, so my assumption is:

Patient: When I remove a 32bit card the system freezes.
Doctor: Don't remove 32bit cards.

About inserting it, well, I never had success with that either. The only
way for it to work is to have the card already there *before* booting
the system. I don't know if that's the expected behaviour or not, it
works flawlessly with 16bit stuff.

My hardware is a Thinkpad 300E, a 16bit ne2k clone and a RealJunk 8139
Cardbus NIC.
