Can anyone elaborate? 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. > For example, does this mean that 16-bit PCMCIA cards will use hotplug?

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. -- dwmw2 - 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/
