So it's a PCI configuration problem, huh?

By the way, I just found an option in my BIOS that enables the PC card interface to be forced to either "Cardbus/16-bit" (whatever that means, isn't cardbus 32-bit?) or "PCIC compatible". Could that help?

By the time I found that out, I had already upgraded to sol-nv-b48, and forcing PCIC compatible caused the kernel to panic in early stages of boot. However, setting it to Cardbus/16-bit seems to work just as the auto-select option. Does that mean my hardware is being configured correctly by Solaris?

Do you see any other useful experiment I could do with this BIOS setting?
