I don't get this one.  I guess I've just been lucky and have only bought
good wireless cards, but for me it only takes editing a couple lines in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts and restarting pcmcia.

I also have been working on making net-setup on the LiveCD
wireless-capable, so expect to see that for the 2004.3 release.  Also,
has anyone written up good documentation for setting up wireless for the
Handbook?  That would probably be a good idea of something to do.

USE="ppds foomaticdb" doesn't cut it?
