RE: [ECOS] Lucent WaveLAN PC card with EBD72xxx

["Trenton Adams" <trenton_adams at hotmail dot com>]

Sorry about the direct email.  I meant to send it to both, I didn't realize 
it until after I sent it.

By Royal Linux, I mean an embedded linux.  Anyhow, I doubt they are 
compatible.  On top of that Royal Linux doesn't have PCMCIA support.  I 
thought it did, but it doesn't.

As for those locations you gave me, they aren't valid on my eCos 1.3.1.  
There is no devs/pcmcia/, or devs/eth/.  Do I need to get the latest CVS?

p.s.
It would be nice if the list would make the reply-to field point to 
ecos-discuss rather than the sender of the email.  Then people wouldn't have 
to worry about clicking reply-to-all :)
