Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Brad Karp had to
walk into mine and say:

Wow, that's great! One question though: do the turbo cards have the
same vendor and device name as the standard cards? That is, do you need
to create separate entries in /etc/pccard.conf with something besides
'card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"' or do they still identify
themselves the same way? If they use a different string (e.g "WaveLAN/IEEE
Turbo") then I need to add a new entry to /etc/pccard.conf.sample as
well.

Will do. Thanks for the testing and the info. I also plan to move
the driver into the -STABLE branch soon.
