I wrote the IBM PCMCIA driver for Linux that I've seen.  I've since
abandoned it because the Linux tcp stack had too many bugs.

I'm currently running NetBSD 0.9.  It's a bit flaky in some odd ways,
but at least the networking code works.  Now if I can just get the
PCMCIA ethernet drivers up and running in this environment...
(interrupt, damn it, interrupt!)
