A little more info from devinfo -u, after boot:
0xd0100e00-0xd01fffff (root0)
0xd0200000-0xd020ffff ----
0xd0210000-0xd02100ff ----
0xd0210100-0xd021ffff (root0)
0xd0220000-0xd023ffff (em0)
After loading if_ath:
0xd0100e00-0xd01fffff (root0)
0xd0200000-0xd020ffff (ath0)
0xd0210000-0xd02100ff ----
0xd0210100-0xd021ffff (root0)
0xd0220000-0xd023ffff (em0)
After unloading if_ath:
0xd0100e00-0xd020ffff (root0)
0xd0210000-0xd02100ff ----
0xd0210100-0xd021ffff (root0)
0xd0220000-0xd023ffff (em0)
The ath memory resource was merged to the preceding "root0" resource.
(And after this, no pccard is recognised.)
What does "----" mean in the devinfo printout?
After using devinfo, the system once froze up when I inserted a
pccard. That never happened before.
