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

Ahh, I thought I had recalled that I added $PC, but that was not the
only change.  The other change was using modprobe vs. insmod.  and I
think using the module name vs. the object filename.

anyway, glad to hear it works.  I found that patch somewhere on redhats
site.  If you search for RH9 and pcmcia starting on google probably you
will eventually find the source.  I wish I had made a complete patch or
a backup before I lost the modifications..
