The best place to bring it up is probably mobile; I've directed replies there. The best *person* to contact is most likely Warner Losh, who has written and/or coordinated much of the support for PCCards, CardBus, etc. in FreeBSD, so I cc'ed him too. > Anyway, guess the topic really says it all.

I've got a prism1 and prism2 card I could donate, but that won't solve the larger problem; I'd rather have support for the new chipset instead. Warner, let me know if I can help by sending a card or something. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters wes@softweyr.com
