So the consensus seems to be that no one really knows if the CL-PD6730 PCCard controller is supported? I find this difficult to believe. But, as long as the mini-dock's PCCard slots work, I'm not totally isolated. The only problem being that the mini-dock is at work and I want to network the notebook and my home PC together. Looks like I'm stuck with Windows NT there.
