Windows leaves the pcic in CardBus mode. Apart from this, all of the pcic's in currently-shipping Inspirons are supported, and the inspiron BIOS leaves them in pcic mode at power-up (but doesn't reset them when you reboot) -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
