What needs to happen for stable, reliable support for existing PCMCIA
network cards people already have? How can we unblock those possible
Linux users?
...
Then Real Life happened and I didn't touch my Amiga for 10+ years...

.. hmm, is this something that's likely to change? ;)

I've dusted it off and powered it on this weekend. It still works (RTC
needs a new battery though), and the 2.6.18 kernel that I modified
many years ago still works fine with the pcnet_cs driver and my
Dynalink L10C card.

You may want to have a close look at the electrolytic capacitors.
A few months ago I had to repair some of the damage done by
a leaking capacitor.  Fortunately I don't need the signals on the
parallel port, but I do use the serial console, and thus had to fix
the eaten RXD trace.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
