Either two NetBSD systems or my laptop (under Win98) with link0 set. The
base stations have been one of the following, both with pretty much the
same behaviour:
  o An old Pentium 133 Liberty computer (standard PC in a small box)
  o An 200MHz IBM Netstation 1000 (PowerPC 600-series) with a
PCI->cardbus
    bridge.
We've also tried the card in a 233MHz modern Pentium laptop (well, a
couple of years old). On this platform, again without cardbus built in,
the driver seems much more stable and has only hiccuped once.

Interesting. This one isn't a big deal, as it's fairly easy to ifconfig
up/down.
