2.4.xx and configuring PCMCIA cards without cardutils
Hi,
For a small computer, I want to use PCMCIA compiled into the kernel. I only have 1 network card (fixed) in a PCMCIA slot. The kernel should boot (from disk) with a NFS root. Because I want to keep things as small as possible, I want to go without an initrd with cardutils.
So I'm wondering how to configure the network card from kernel space, if possible at all.
Regards,
Bas.

Unfortunately, this is neither possible with 2.4. or 2.6. at the moment, but there's work going on [for 2.6.+ only] which will eventually lead to such possibilities.
