ah, i hadn't thought of trying that -- i really like the in-kernel
support because it seems to have done away w/ the "dhcpcd comes up

sounds pretty good to me -- only, i don't seem to be seeing much
improvement for a number of the pcmcia devices (modem and ata) i use.
i figure it'll get fixed soon enough...for now i'm content to switch
between 2.4.0-testX and 2.2.16 depending on the need.
