Folks have indicated that their is *code* for some PCMCIA cards, but i havent heard that anybody is *using* one. If there is something running in -current, then i'd love to hear about it because this is something that i'd think hard about flipping to -current for....( danger, job suicide ahead... :-) ) If anybody has any experience to the contrary then i'd love to hear it. tnx! johnu > > Best regards > > -- > Udo Schweigert, Siemens AG | Voice : +49 89 636 42170 > CT IC CERT, Siemens CERT | Fax : +49 89 636 41166 > D-81730 Muenchen / Germany | email : udo.schweigert@siemens.com > -- John L.
