You have to do it the hard way. Or at least, *I* had to do it the hard way after asking this same question... I think it would make a great package tho. APM (Advanced Power Management) would be another win as a package, as well, even if was just source... >(Also, if anyone knows of any special tricks that need to be played to get a >Linksys PCMCIA ethernet card to function correctly, please let me know.) Uh... the PCMCIA docco is pretty good about listing anything special that needs to be done... I have a 3com card so it 'just worked' for me... :) --Zachary
