Hi Dave,

I'd like to get the Cardbus hotplug stuff working for configuring
my BusPort Mobile, again.  As soon as you have thise PCI/Cardbus
support part patched up again, please send it to me and I'll test it.
I fear that there is more brokenness in the call_usermodehelper
stuff, but I hope I'm wrong.

I really am looking forward to seeing what you and David Hinds
come up with.  I'll test it like crazy as soon as it's available.

	Miles
