Slightly newer than the 2975 I've got, but this one is almost 3 years old
now, so that's to be expected.  Just for laughs, here's a dump of the
dmesg from my Dell Latitude C810 with -STABLE CVSup'd around 6:30AM EDT
today, the two uknown pieces of hardware are the IEEE 1394 port and the
PCTel Winmodem thinging on the Mini-PCI LAN/Modem card.  The machine is
currently siiting in a C/PortII.  I haven't tried it in a C/DockII, but I
can only assume it's just as painless.  The major difference is the
C/DockII has another PCI bus, with a SCSI and IDE controller onboard (and
3 PCI expansion slots).

You'll notice that when I boot the machine with the modem insterted, the
kernel is a little weird, and jumps back and forth between it beeing in
and out, but it works fine.  I've tried starting pccardd with and without
the -z flag and it makes no difference.  If I leave the Intel Pro/16
PCCard (uses xe0) in during boot, it can't initialize the driver until I
eject it and reinsert it, which I thought was odd.  I'm hoping that's an
xe0 issue, as I'm thinking about picking up a Linksys wireless card for
this machine to play with, and I'd rather not have to deal with that sort
of random weirdness.

If anyone has any suggestions on which wireless card is best, I'd
appreciate some feedback on that.  I'm only interested in Linkss as the
frontrunner because I inserted a friend's linksys card and it just worked.
If there are better choices, I'm all for hearing about them.

Anyway, here's the dmesg, sio2 is the Zoom modem:
