I've just been asking about that, since I've got an old notebook that
needs resurrecting.  Steven is talking about adding some PCMCIA bits to
BL3, along with a few common NIC modules, and creating a script to give
some PCMCIA networking functionality.  Sounds great.  I don't know how
much I can contribute - I can offer to do at least some testing with my
notebook, but time constraints will prevent me from doing much and will
make my contributions intermittent.  Wireless would be nice, and I do have
a card I can experiment with, but I don't know if Steven considers it any
kind of priority.
