However, I must warn you that there are known bugs in the PAO stuff in both the kernel and userland code which have been fixed or have not been introduced in the code in -current. But, on the other hand the PAO code also contains some significant functionality that doesn't (yet) exist in -current. In any case, 2.1.5 doesn't contain any PCCARD functionality directly, although it would be trivial for someone to build a set of patches to add it in. Nate
