I don't (personally) see any reason to move on to 1.3.1 to get
improved pcmcia support. At least, last I looked, the 1.3.1 pcmcia
worked no better than the 1.3 version. What I did was grabbed a
newish (at the time [-current 0223]) pcmcia directory, and splat it
into the 1.3 source (you also have to add the 0223 .../dev/ic/com*).
This has worked pretty well.
