Definitely not, in my case. Not only is the card in question, the SohoWare
NCP130, not PCMCIA, but I just don't have the stomach to run -current on the box
that's my primary connection to the Internet. That's just dangerous. :-)

Unfortunately, this is once more not really related to my case, since I'm not
getting past the link layer with these packets. I appreciate the thought,
though. :-)
