On my old DELL LM laptop the -2.5 series no longer issues any beeps when
a card is inserted.  The problem is in the kernel, as the test program
below (extracted from cardmgr) beeps on -2.4, but not on -2.5.

    fd = open("/dev/tty0", O_RDWR);

    arg = (ms << 16) | freq;
    ioctl(fd, KDMKTONE, arg);
    close(fd);
    usleep(ms*1000);
}
