Re: [ACPI-sppt] ACPI but no PMCIA Wireless

Carl,
I really appreciate your assistance.  The $PC did not work, but once I
looked at the code I just remarked out the entire first "if" statement
and changed the elsif to if and every thing is working great!!

P.S. Another little thing I have notice about running ACPI I know longer
have the i8253 count is too high error either :)

Thank You,
Mark
