Happens to the best of us. ;-)

Right. That I did seem to recall. That said, most notebooks requiring ACPI
will already have onboard Wi-Fi, and not need a PC card.

Thanks for the reminder.

This is actually less specific than the params installed on my T43 by

Now I have a better recollection. I'm not using the Apsoft driver, but I'll
bet my stack is 5.0, not 8.0 (whatever happened to 6.x & 7.x?)...
