This surprises me a bit. I have not booted V5 on my 600E for about a
year, but I was running NEWCARD on it at that time. Has something
broken?

I do belive that I did have to add a sysctl to make NEWCARD work,
though, but it supported my CardBus 10/100 Xircom card.

Maybe I should try updating to CURRENT and see how it does.
