Group Calendaring

Not much new work on OpenFlock this weekend, but I did fix the anonymous pserver access to the cvs tree so that folks can see the pre-alpha work again! Turns out that the code Tridge wrote to rsync the CVS tree into the chroot() jail used a new rsync flag - and I was using an older version of rsync, so it was failing silently without copying over the changes. Rrr. Fixed it, though. Things are getting close - I just want to have a good, working client that people other than developers can use before releasing the alpha code.

PCMCIA, Wireless Networking, and Device Naming

Congratulations to Corey Thomas and David Hinds for finally fixing the ray_cs driver in pcmcia-3.1.15! Now at least cardctl eject works properly. Even though cardctl resume doesn't work right, at least I can use cardctl eject; cardctl insert to reinitialize the card after an APM resume event. I sent off a patch to them so that you can now have the Aviator wireless card come up as raycsX instead of ethX. This makes life much easier because I can unambiguously know what the card will be called no matter what configuration I have the computer in.
