Other than that, I like the idea. There's a real, pressing need to know if pccard FOO-bar is supported or is known to work or not in the current version. The PAO folks did a great job with this in their lists of cards known to work. Figuring out how to setup a database with all of this information is going to be tricky. The Japanese nomads were talking about this at one point, and if they come up with someting for pccard, it could likely be extended to all types of cards.
