I've put up new apm & pcmcia diff sets for the most recent -1.1B kernel
device stuff.

The pcmcia stuff has reworked configuration stuff--look at my sample
configuration files in the distribution to see what's changed.  You can
now hardwire a device entry to a particular slot if you really want to.

Included in the apm stuff is a new user client 'apm' which talks to the
'apmd' so that you can request suspend or standby states as well as
fetch state from the command line.  I believe this command is
command-line compatible with the FreeBSD stuff.  (The internals are
different since I have the daemon always controlling the state and the
client must talk to the daemon to do any manipulation).

About the only thing left to do is to modify this new apm client to call
the device directly if it can't contact the server (which may be
prohibited by permissions), and to make sure the kernel glue is in good
enough shape to add to the tree.

shar & enjoy,
