PCMCIA Card Services for Linux
 PCMCIA cards are commonly used in laptops to provide expanded
 capabilities, such as modems, increased memory, etc. Some desktop PCs
 can accept PCMCIA cards as well, although this is rare.
 .
 This package provides the card manager daemon that can respond to card
 insertion and removal events, loading and unloading drivers on demand.
 It supports ``hot swapping'' of most PCMCIA cards, so cards can be
 inserted and ejected at any time.
 .
 The actual kernel modules required for this package are contained
 in either the pcmcia-modules-<kernel version> package or the
 kernel-pcmcia-modules-<kernel version> package, where <kernel
 version> is the version of the kernel for which the modules have
 been compiled. The pcmcia-modules-<kernel version> package contains
 the drivers that were compiled from this package's source. The
 kernel-pcmcia-modules-<kernel version> package contains the drivers
 that compiled from the (version 2.4 or later) kernel source.
 .
 Since version 2.4 (and later) kernels have their own drivers, they can
 be built with their own PCMCIA support. Nevertheless, this package or
 the hotplug package is still required to load and unload drivers on
 demand.
 .
 The ifupdown package can be used to configure PCMCIA network
 interfaces. The wireless-tools package is required by many wireless
 network adapters. The hotplug package is required by 2.4 (and later)
 series kernels to use PCI (Cardbus) devices.
