kernel cardbus services

[Grant Morphett]

UPDATE

So after trying about a zillion different things and trawling a few mail archives
etc I still had no luck.  So, I dumped the kernel pcmcia stuff, rebuilt the
kernel and the pcmcia-cs modules, installed both those and ALL my cards work
without any problems.  Its an extra step in my kernel upgrade process albiet a
minor(ish) one but at least it works.

Guess I will steer clear of the kernel pcmcia stuff for a while yet.

cheers
