My thoughts exactly. 2.4 should be hotplugging the 2.4 kernel's Cardbus drivers ... unbundled pcmcia_cs drivers shouldn't be used, as a rule, the kernel drivers get more attention (and the expectation is that'll continue).

Actually I think all the evidence suggests that at this point the unbundled pcmcia drivers still get considerably more attention than the kernel drivers, at least at the end user level.

I would like to explore the "mutual-noninterference pact" between Cardmgr and /sbin/hotplug. It seems important to get right. Obviously, David Hinds will play a big role in this.

I have added code to cardmgr to parse modules.pcimap to figure out which cards should be handled by the hotplug stuff. I still have a few things to clean up but I don't think it will be hard.
