The pcmciautils software offers a range of user-friendly tools for enabling PCMCIA support in Linux 2.6. This suite allows for easier management of PCMCIA devices within a user-focused environment.
PCMCIAutils form the foundation of the 2.6 PCMCIA subsystem and are constantly undergoing improvements to enhance their compatibility with the Linux kernel. This progression involves code optimizations, reorganizations, and certain portions of the present subsystem even being rewritten.
While the development approach is steadfast, some issues do present themselves from time to time leaving scope for errors. This page attempts to document such problems while also providing solutions or information vital for identifying their origin. While documenting known complications pertaining to the core Linux 2.6 PCMCIA subsystem, the individual driver maintainers are responsible for tracking PCMCIA card driver problems.
Core PCMCIA bug reports such as socket driver bug reports are to be reported on the 2.6 kernel bugzilla. However, it is advised not to classify PCMCIA card driver issues under the "PCMCIA" category, as they will not be attended to. These should instead be posted on the mailing list.
Notable updates in this release include a bugfix specifically for modern udev releases, improvements in udev rules, and documentation updates.
