Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] PCI->PCMCIA support?

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

The problem here isn't with the WirelessDriver, it's with the lack of 
support for your PCI to PCMCIA adapter in Apple's PCCard support 
module.  You can recompile this module with dubbing enabled and you 
should be able to get something working there, but it's still going to 
require some work to get the setup correct.
