Randy, I'm sure you're on ietf@ietf.org, but if not, here's a recent email posted there. Any chance you or someone else on -mobile wants to adapt it to the FreeBSD PCCARD interface before Sunday? :-) I haven't worked with the PCCARD interface since 2.2.x, so doubt my skills apply any longer. If no one else gets around to looking at it come Sunday evening once I have the card (hopefully), I'll take a look at doing it.
