Yea, this actually replaces a mechanism that was used in pccardd that =
dates back about 10 or more years.  When devd.conf replaced pccardd, we =
tried to map it as closely as possible and get rid of the (poorly named) =
pccard_ether script...

I haven't looked into the deeper issue of the bogus error messages, or =
if they are bogus at all or not...
