   Ok, so a fix would be:

+++ aironet4500_core.c  Mon Apr 30 19:14:47 2001

   And if someone knows that tx_full_rate will never be used again then
there's 2 other commented lines to remove.

   I thought it was supposed to display more messages if it cannot get
its resources. From the pcmcia-howto:
         RequestIO: Resource in use
         RequestIRQ: Resource in use
         RequestWindow: Resource in use
         GetNextTuple: No more items
         could not allocate nn IO ports for CardBus socket n
         could not allocate nnK memory for CardBus socket n
         could not allocate interrupt for CardBus socket n
