Great work!  This is something that people at LinuxWorld Expos have been 
asking about for for some time.  Thanks ever so much for your time and 
effort.

This may also make it easier to support some laptop wireless PCMCIA 
adapters.  The problem of initializing the PCI bridge chips in laptops 
(much variation) still remains, but maybe we can do some of the common 
cases.  Once the bridge has been initialized and one can talk to the 
adapter, driver writing becomes much easier.

Hmmmm, wireless Etherbooting....
You know of course that this means we'll have to cart *even more* demo 
hardware to LinuxWorld Expo San Francisco in August.  
Drat!! :) :) :)
