Excuses, excuses :) It all wants fixing. Until you can have half-witted consumers plugging and unplugging PCMCIA devices at will, PCMCIA support on embedded consumer devices in Linux just isn't worth having. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
