} This does not seem terribly important, since it's just a string the kernel 
} outputs.  People put way too much stock in those strings, and it's a 
} maintenance hassle.  (Which is why I'm actively removing them from the PCMCIA 
} code.)

     Correct as far as it goes; but, this is only the first step.  I
have the device working under 1.5.x.  I'm currently working on trying
to get it to run under -current.  And, it is nice to know what you have
where, instead of just seeing messages of the form, "ugenN:  vendor X
device Y".

     BTW, has the removal of these strings been discussed anywhere?
