well, some days ago started taking my 2.2.16 aironet4500_cs up to date
with pcmcia-cs-3.1.19 and had to answer the same question
from myself. Answer: I dont know.
I found(recalled) that I have some personal problems with pcmcia...

Could anyone point me some reading material, which would tell:
1. why most of pcmcia drivers have the same(huge) amount of about
same code at initialization/cleanup ?
2. What all of those structures/functions mean and under what circumstances
may be called and so on ?
could I get pcmcia network card initalized with same amount of codelines
as ISA and PCI ?

3. What is the best driver/path to take(if proper documentation is not available)
as an example to redo all of this in my driver if it is plain wrong ?

4. I'd like to play with acpi/APM a bit, any ref implementations for pcmcia ?

5. Is there a way to avoid cardmgr, i.e. for boxes which have 4 cards in and they probably will
stay there forever (currently one is on my table). That those pcmcia cards would behave
normal network cards way without userspace helpers ?

elmer.
