Some old fashioned assistance requested, and some oppinions wanted.

[Jim Stapleton]

My past posts here - I originally couldn't get Audio working, but that
wasn't Toshiba's fault. There's still a bug, but for the time being
I'm attributing that to the driver being young.

*nothing* Likes the PCMCIA controller except windows. Even if a card
gets put in and shows signs of getting power (which is rare), neither
BSD nor Linux will actually be able to recognize/use the card. Also no
drivers will run the intel 3945ABG card. While the BSD drivers are
new, and still "beta quality", the Linux drivers are Intel, and should
work. So I'm suspecting "toshiba tweaks".
