Err no. 2.4.x kernel drivers exist for most of the 16-bit PCMCIA cards supported by pcmcia-cs. But they are not hotplug drivers; only the Cardbus drivers are hotplug aware. No 16-bit PC Cards are configured by /sbin/hotplug. > David Hinds' recent cardmgr releases should already have the > work-around built in to not attempt to configure any devices > that 2.4.x kernel hotplugging will handle.
