This is the first time I've heard that; the topic has come up several times, and the story I've gotten from the answers is that pcmcia_cs integration with kernel cardbus support is still weak. (I don't have a Cardbus setup, so I have to trust those answers.) It could be that folk have been going at that question with different assumptions. - Dave _______________________________________________ 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
