: Hi Robert;
: 
: I'd suggest adding the "AG" in the appropriate place in pccard.conf and
: rebooting, and see what happens. I added an entry for my SMC2532W-B that
: was identical to the entry for the SMC2632, and have been using it
: without problems for the last year, in 4.7, 5.4, and -current.

pccard.conf is not used on 6.0.  Changing this file will have 0
effect, I can 100% guarantee it. :-)
