It sounds from what you're saying, Steven, like all I would need to do to
get wireless working is to boot using the bare.i kernel.  Since the
machine did detect the Wavelan card ok when I ran /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia
start this kind of makes sense.  I guess I'd have to still comment out
those lines in /etc/pcmcia/wirless.opts that I read about, too.  It
remains speculation at this point since, at the moment, I have access
neither to the Wavelan card nor the wireless network.
