p.s. should the stable team be notified to fix 2.6.22 for
Lombard-nvram-style machines?
Logically, yes. 

Practically it does not matter that much it seems. I've got the
feeling the Lombard-users-group-size is about one person which is
going to drop to zero if he doesn't get any further in being able to
use _any_ PCMCIA card in his machine ;-)
Two ! Paulus has one :-) Though I'm not sure he uses it often nowadays.
For example, PCMCIA (non-cardbus) does not work on Lombard since
~2.6.12 (2 years old bug instantly crashing the kernel!) according to
own experiences, Google and own git-bisecting down to 2.6.13,
compiling and running different kernels. 2.6.12 appears to require the
'old-style' PCMCIA tools, which I do not have installed and is
therefore impossible for me to test.
Hrm. If Paul brings his Lombard to work next week, I can have a look.

Cheers,
Ben.
