Yet full support for 2.4 includes hotplugging of USB, and one of
your issues was the lack of audible hotplug feedback ...

This is the first time I've heard that; the topic has come up
several times, and the story I've gotten from the answers is that
pcmcia_cs integration with kernel cardbus support is still weak.
(I don't have a Cardbus setup, so I have to trust those answers.)

It could be that folk have been going at that question with
different assumptions.
