I would like to know more about each of the options--a little more on what the purpose of each is, and under what circumstances it would be used. I wrote a "howto" on the process of getting pccards working, in which using the output of pccardc dumpcis to construct a pccard entry or definition for pccard.conf was explained. It really isn't explained in this draft of the man page, but perhaps it should be. The ppp man page is now not only documentation about the software, but a "howto" on getting it to work. Maybe this man page or a more general one on pccards ought to cover the "how to" aspects of this as well as the technical aspects. Now I am curious about pccardc enabler and when it might be necessary to use it. I'm not sure exactly how it interacts with pccard.conf, or whether if a card were removed and reinserted and pccard.conf got reread, whether that would overwrite anything put in with pccardc enabler. There seems to be no place in enabler to enter an ether offset for a network card; is that right? I was quite surprised to discover that apparently I can actually write to a card's memory using some pccardc commands. When would I want to do that? Would this change be permanent? Is it possible I could get some cards to work that way that won't work otherwise? Very interesting.
