Yes, you could certainly make cardmgr be quiet. > Systems with a dozen USB devices are not uncommon; > I'd rather rely on hub LEDs for feedback than get lots of > noise on reboot, or when I plug in a hub that has a bunch > of devices already connected. I'm not talking about USB at all. I'm talking about the transition of users from 2.2 based systems to 2.4, and their expectations thereof. > "Have both these installed and any supported card will work" > doesn't seem odd! Quite the opposite. I don't see how telling people 'you know all that stuff that used to work fine? Now you need to install this *additional* package, which is subtly different, and is configured differently, just to get the same functionality' wouldn't seem odd to them, especially when they have to keep the old package around. Basically, I just find the idea of using both at the same time ugly; I'd prefer sticking with cardmgr, or doing the kernel work and going fully to the hotplug package. > > It's actually not too hard to make cardmgr work fine with 2.4. > > Never said it was.

One can use cardmgr's previous cardbus support with minor kernel patches.
