Uh, I have seen no patches from David for this? Have I somehow
missed this?

I would dearly love to see this functionality get added. I would
also like to hear what the implementation plan is. Will the
need for /etc/pcmcia go away? Will the new code do a better job
of knowing what drivers to load without system configuration files?
How will device removal be handled? Will we still need cardctl
and cardmgr?

I just went through a process yesterday of trying to get some
PCMCIA wireless PC Card configuration. It isn't at all straightforward,
even with pcmcia-cs.
