pcmcia modules install path

pcmcia modules install path

[J . A . Magallon]

Hi everyone,

Just a silly question. The pcmcia modules in 2.4.x get installed in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia, instead of
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/<whatever>

Is there any special reason for that or is just a harmelss buglet ?

Deliberate.  Old versions of pcmcia-cs used a hard coded insmod from
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia.  Newer versions use modprobe and do not
care where the module is stored.  The pcmcia directory is a migration
aid and will disappear after kernel 2.4.1.  All entries under pcmcia
should be symlinks anyway.
