Yes. The sets they we all purchased came with 2 PCMCIA cards and 2
ISA-PCMCIA adapter cards.

Yes.

Yes. Sean got DHCP working just last week. He needed to tweak the
init script sequence so that dhcpd was started after the PCMCIA
code. But that was the extent of it. The laptops required no
changes whatsoever.

Oh, BTW, I did get the SMP changes done and sent off to the driver
author. So you don't have to stick it in the 486. You can now use
that spare quad-xeon you've got down in the basement. ;-)
