Kim 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.
