Have you read Adam Richter's recent message to linux-hotplug-devel (02/24/01 @ 8:25:02PM)? This message is the result of a discussion that occured in response to a message I posted containing a list of requirements from David Hinds for migrating PCMCIA support into the kernel tree. As a short-term solution, recent cardmgr builds will ignore all devices that occur in the modules.pcimap on machines running a 2.4.x kernel. This means that PCMCIA configuration should not step on the toes of devices that the new hotplug system supports. I haven't seen any feedback to Adam's post, yet. Hopefully a substantive discussion will lead to an agreed design. I'd like to see another discussion occur that explores the implementation of PCMCIA support in the kernel in light of Adam's recent mail. It's my understanding that the PCMCIA migration is all 2.5 work. In the meantime, I think the hack in cardmgr is sufficient. Agreed?
