Basically, we'd need aliasing of any pcmcia-cs drivers whose function is now served by a new driver in the 2.4.0 kernel tree. BTW: I would *really* like to see someone championing creating a smooth transition path for pcmcia-cs users. This means getting all the usermode stuff in place for removing drivers (thanks, David) and also building a way to prepare a PCMCIA/Cardbus card for removal. I guess the tough part, here, is the PCMCIA support. Which, I gather, isn't really there in the 2.4.0 kernel code, yet. Is that correct?
