What dell card do you have in there now? The TrueMobile 1400 is now
supported in -current, and works very well. It's possible that other
Dell cards would work with the NDIS-ulator as well, but I haven't tried
them.
Let me know if you need details on how to get it running.
BTW, I am running -current on my D800, with your ACPI stuff, and Fn+F8
works to turn off my "radio" stuff as well. Haven't tried it in -stable
yet.
HTH,
Doug
