no, it treats the PCMCIA no differently in any way, shape or form from the PCI interface. my readings of the kernel archives and the kernel source before i started work on the driver suggested to me that this was the underlying model for the design of the kernel. there is lots of code in the kernel designed to make such devices look like ordinary PCI devices, and it seemed sensible to me to use it. the hotplug stuff didn't strike me as requiring any specific driver support. seems that i may have been wrong. if david or someone else can point me at some docs on what would be needed to have cardmgr be able to use the driver, i would be happy to consider adding it. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
