So the PCMCIA socket uses cardbus and that is difficult to get working 
in the kernel?  (I've seen for a long time cardbus support in the 
kernel, so there must be a different problem)  Or is the wireless card 
not supported?  or both?

I'm only familiar with the USR 2450.  How does speed/performance/ram 
compare on these boxes?  Sorry for my ignorance, but do you flash the 
image with a linear memory card like my USR 2450s?  I think I like the 
skill to do much more.  I hear JTAG this and that in the mailing list 
without really understanding what you guys are doing. (you understand my 
hw hacking skill better now)
