The PCMCIA code makes me want to vomit. It wants printing out and ritually
burning, while taking care not to inhale the fumes which might affect your
brain.

That is the plan.

That is also the plan.
Unfortunately the plan is all we have at the moment, other than a few
hundred lines of untested core device/driver registration code and untested
CIS-parsing code. I threw that together hoping it would work like stone
soup -- but it hasn't worked yet, so it's going to have to wait till I have
more time to play.
