Yes. There is a "golden" shielding. Good to know how to detect Cardbus devices
now ;-)

Btw. i checked a *very* old NE2000 compatible PCMCIA card:

[11844.660268] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: card ejected from slot 0
[11997.624112] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into
slot 0
[11997.624828] pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
[11997.639489] pcmcia 0.0: firmware: requesting cis/PE-200.cis
[11997.688404] eth1: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 19, hw_addr
00:20:e0:0e:03:7b
[12008.368043] eth1: no IPv6 routers present

It's using the drivers/net/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.c driver.

And obviously there's no problem requesting the netdevice nor the firmware at
plug-in.
