Unless he knows what this does, I don't have permission to use this.
However, it appears to me that the current pccard_ether configuration is
completely broken. In particular, the default route is never added to
the system, although there is code to set a variable which is never
used. :(
Toshi-san, can you please follow up with me on this to make sure we
don't ship 4.4RC with a non-working pccard_ether setup?
Thanks!
Nate
