The hotplug scripts from RH9 are there and seem happy, I thought cardmgr was 
called from them.  (The same setup works in 2.4.21, albeit with modules 
enabled.  I should compile a monolithic 2.4 kernel and see what it does...)

Now I'm confused.  I thought the _cs on the end was short for "cardbus"...
