>Description:

The card is located correctly, and configured by ifconfig so that I can use it.

However, when ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) is called, the interface name is not returned
in the list.  All other interfaces are.

This does not affect ifconfig, because this gets its list of interfaces from
sysctl() and not the SIGCGIFCONF ioctl().

I'm assuming that the problem is with pccardd not registering the interface,
but I don't know enough about its internal workings or that of the kernel to
look into fixing it.

>How-To-Repeat:

The simplest way to demonstrate the problem is to run 'amd -v'.  It will 
report "No networks." even when the card is configured and running correctly.
