Would it be desirable to have a userland script run when a device is
inserted? I know that I'd love to have my card ifconfig'ed when I insert
the card into the slot. The flexibility would be nice...
Regarding the FAQ: if anyone wants to send me bits and bytes of experiences
with pcmcia, I'd be happy to whip something up. I'm new to pcmcia as of
1.4, so I've not been through the wringer...
So please - send me your pcmcia experiences and I'll incorperate them.
