124What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
125When: November 2005
126Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
127Why: With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a
128 normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel
129 infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA
130 control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is
131 unnecessary, and makes further cleanups and integration of the
132 PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more
133 difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either
134 handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new
135 pcmciautils package available at
136 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/
