Hi Robert;

I'd suggest adding the "AG" in the appropriate place in pccard.conf and
rebooting, and see what happens. I added an entry for my SMC2532W-B that
was identical to the entry for the SMC2632, and have been using it
without problems for the last year, in 4.7, 5.4, and -current.

LOL,
Patrick
