so. when i configure the bios to PCIC mode, then i am reincarnating the
interface ( and thus, the card ) to appear to be a PCCARD, yes?

if this *is* true, then the 4.4-RC5 install should not have paniced when
it probed the chip, correct?

if, it is not true, then could anybody offer up what it is that i am
telling the bios to do when i set the PCIC compatible mode in the bios?

sorry for the high density of my skull in this matter :-)
