Sebastian> So the support for PCMCIA will slowly dissolve.... Add to that, that more and more devices and gadgets have a USB or IEEE1394 interface, and new laptops have these versatile ports. BTW, is there *still* any technical advantage of PCMCIA over USB or 1394? (e.g. I know that USB pre 2.0 didn't have DMA and the interrupt model is inferior. That's why PCMCIA 100BaseT Ethernet cards are superior to USB<-->Fast Ethernet bridges.) -- Sau Dan LEE ???u??(Big5) ~{@nJX6X~}(HZ) E-mail: danlee@informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
