From what I've read the bug should also be in 2.x, but all 2.x
installations I'm running are very stable, both on my two Dual-SM71
SPARCstation 20 and on my SPARCbook, whereas both 3.x and -current
were unusable. Any clue why the problem didn't bite nearly so badly
in earlier versions?

Yes, seems to be stable and adds substantial value (in particular,
WLAN on SPARCbook, or being able to read/write CF cards with a
PCMCIA/CF adapter.) USB would be the killer app, but I think all
USB cards are Cardbus, and not PCMCIA.
