Enabling PCMCIA Services
Newer Linux kernels with support for loadable and unloadable code modules have made life a lot easier for laptop users with special devices such as PCMCIA, or PC cards. Fortunately, Linux supports many of these devices through the kmod and cardmgr daemons (started at bootup), which automatically load and unload needed modules as devices are inserted or ejected.
To use PC cards or services with Linux, you should install the pcmcia package. Check your distribution's documentation for details on installing a package.
