pcmcia modules install path
Hi everyone,
Just a silly question. The pcmcia modules in 2.4.x get installed in /lib/modules/uname -r/pcmcia, instead of /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/<whatever>
Is there any special reason for that or is just a harmelss buglet ?

Deliberate. Old versions of pcmcia-cs used a hard coded insmod from /lib/modules/uname -r/pcmcia. Newer versions use modprobe and do not care where the module is stored. The pcmcia directory is a migration aid and will disappear after kernel 2.4.1. All entries under pcmcia should be symlinks anyway.
