I haven't been following this thread very well, but find it interesting.
I recently bought my first wireless network adapter -- the SMC 2835W
Cardbus adapter (54 Mbps, 802.11g). After a kernel recompile and then
compiling rhe driver code, much configuration and some configuration
help from Rick Johnson, I think I'm ready to take the card for a test
drive at my local Starbucks.

Sean,
Thanks! That definitly did the trick, ACPI is up and running.
Next on the list is to play with performance and cpufreq.
Also, installing the linux-wlan drivers appears to break pcmcia, I get
yenta errors after restarting pcmcia after I make install the linux-wlan
code. Anyhow, I'm going to review it again, if I still have issues I will
post more details.
