Hi, Starting from linux-2.6.13-rc1 the PCMCIA subsystem has been patched to exports certain internals to sysfs, which allows using hotplug for handling insertion/ejection of 16bit PCMCIA cards.
For this to work, a new package called pcmciautils [1] will need to be added to portage. Therefore, a new virtual/pcmcia (which will default to sys-apps/pcmcia-cs in base/virtuals for now) will be added as well. I have had sys-apps/pcmciautils in my portage overlay [2] for quite a while now, just waiting for the needed functionality to be merged into Linus' tree. The linux-mod eclass will be changed to depend on virtual/pcmcia for pcmcia support. Future ebuilds that just need a PCMCIA card manager should depend on virtual/pcmcia as well. If anybody has any objections and/or questions to this new virtual, please drop me an e-mail.
