When the 1st box was empty, I had immediately assumed stolen via the Return Policy. This *is* Frys after all and they love to use that shrink-wrapper and put the returns on the shelf without checking anything. But when all 5 boxes they had in stock were missing, including ones that looked brand new, that makes me start to suspect the source. But yes, it's entirely possible someone's stolen all of them. When I was at cisco, Dongles would get stolen off people's desktops. regards, K^2 - who shops at MicroCenter instead of Frys. > > Here's the pccard.conf fragment he sent me that worked with the above > > combination.
