Well, I am looking into this now. But what are your feelings on the priority of pcmcia. I have a pcmcia network card in my primary machine at the moment, so it seems like something I would like to look into. But I also am not familar yet with the Hurd or OSKit, so I don't want to neglect a better route to becoming more familar with it in a better more useful way. I also have never contributed to a Free Software project of this magnitude. Any guidance from you guys on this would be appreciated, in the meantime I am going to investigate so that I can become more familar with it.
