Having pccardd/pccardc statically linked is certainly *A GOOD THING* and could help when libc is hosed or unavailable. Recently it allowed me to restore my laptop during libc madness. Otherwise I would be unable to bring up network interface and copy libc compiled on another machine over network. Actually I think we should consider moving it into /sbin as it is a critical component for notebook users. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
