I have a notebook > with a 3com nic, and would love to use bsd instead of redhat. It would be news to Warner and the PAO folks in Japan working on getting CardBus support working, too. I suspect you are confusing CardBus (32-bit) support with the older PCIC (16-bit) interface. 16 bit cards are pretty well supported under 4.1 but 32-bit is only available in current (5.0) and is NOT ready for prime time. Last I heard on mobile, it was a matter of months before the NEWCARD code would be ready for general use.
