I have an old Thinkpad 600E that I've been playing around with. I had
FBSD 5.3 running on it, but the modem driver needed for it hasn't been
updated to run on 5.x, and the maintainer said he hadn't gotten enough
requests to make it worthwhile. So I installed 4.11, but now I'm getting
a pccard error message saying that 32 bit pc cards are not supported. I
can't find anything addressing this in the Handbook, hardware.txt, or
the pccardd and pccard.conf man pages, but I did find (via Google) a
passing reference to 32 bit support only being added in 5.x. Is this
accurate, i.e., no 32bit pccard support in 4.x? I don't see anything in
GENERIC or LINT that suggests a kernel recompile would do any good, is
there any way to use 32 bit cards in 4.x?

Thanks.
