It > would be nice if this driver will make it for 2.6.25 merge window. I had some minor additional questions, but in general, I second that this driver should be merged for 2.6.25. The question of the PCMCIA maintainership came up on a different mailing list. Personally I think that PCMCIA is a dead technology, but in some industrial environments this will live longer than expected. I would simply propose that LKML is used for PCMCIA related review and -mm for testing. Regards Marcel
