[TriLUG] 2.6 kernel

[Nathan Conrad]

Note that the drivers that come with the pcmcia-cs driver are not
compatible with 2.6. One must use the in-kernel PCMCIA drivers. But
the userspace portions are still inside the pcmcia-cs package. Also,
there is the big flaming war still going on between udev and
devfs. Everyone should use udev, but it is not supported by all of the
drivers. devfs should go away fairly soon.
