Firstly, please don't send HTML mail. It's bad, and people have a hard
time dealing with it.

This looks OK, though you might want to disable the pccard support, since
it's known to be broken right now.

That's a bit ugly.

I'm a bit worried about this; "D6" doesn't really exist, so it's possible
that something is going wrong here.
Bill; you might have some better ideas than I do. Suggestions?
