Well, I'm going to be installing a new SMC Ultra card in my gateway box
this week (moving from Frame Relay to Wireless. :), and I know the
settings on it are correct.  It'll have an old card, and a new card but
it will be running 2.1.5.  If you can give me the patch to enable 0WS on
the 2.1.5 driver I'll enable it to see if it breaks my box with either
card, since I'll have one of the older SMC Ultra's and a brand-new SMC
Ultra in it.
