    I can't really answer that one for you, my guess is no. I figure that
since PMAG B-A and PMAG C-J is still in development that the PX console
drivers for PMAG-CA didn't make into the 1.4.1 release. I have no knowledge
of CVS or much on kernels; someone else will have to answer that one for
you. I know support for PX is in -current, but you would have to download
and compile your own custom kernel to get everything to work. (Which I also
don't know how to do)
