PCMCIA net configuration on  laptop / w PCMCIA - 
atmelwlanddriver 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/atmelwlandriver) would 
work if compiled into the bootimage.  PCMCI driver for 
most eMachines laptops. Using NetGear WG511 card. 
Starting PCMCIA from X client context menu works, 
however crashes when that card is installed.  
Support on the distro for AirSnort would be good as well.
