Warner,

  Don't know if it's pccard related or not, but on a build of STABLE on 
Saturday my ipfw was all dinked up.  I was seeing all kinds of nasty get 
socket errors whenever I tried to add a rule.
  This evening whe I cvsup'd I noticed some code changes coming in with 
sufixes of fw on them so I went and rebuilt world here.  Seems that cleaned 
up all the errors, and ipfw is once again working for me on this laptop.

  I should note that there is still a nasty timing problem on boot up in 
relation to when pccard kicks in.  It's the last darn thing to run, after 
pretty much all my networking daemons have already been asked to go.  pccardd 
really needs to get going long before stuff like ipfw kicks in.
  At this point I simply have a shell script that I run following a boot up 
that forces a reload of all my ipfw rules.  It works and all, but it is an 
awfully nasty hack around.  Any chance a more elegant solution might be in 
the works sometime soon?

  Lastly, do any of the changes you've made here effect the Xircom PCMCIA 
cards?  I've got a RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 over here I'd 
love to try out some time.  Not a real big deal, as this Linksys card I've 
got now work terrific after all your hard work over there.
