[I managed to get my hands on a 3C589D for the initial install, so my
original unrecognized Linksys problem is now taken care of, and I'm
running 2.2-971204-SNAP on my IBM 380. I'll post my pccard.conf entry
for this card (which has a different CIS tuple than any I've seen
anywhere) shortly.]

Does pulling 2.2-97MMDD-SNAP get one the latest and greatest PCMCIA
support that I see so much traffic on this list about? Or is it
necessary to explicitly cvsup RELENG_2_2, in addition?

If the cvsup is necessary, I'm a bit confused, as I thought that the
SNAPs were by definition the latest RELENG_2_2 build.

(This question, too, went by in November, but I saw no answer posted.)

Clarifications appreciated!
