PCMCIA/PC card seems to work in 2.6.18 kernel

[Gregory Gulik]

I've had trouble with PCMCIA cards working on the R3000Z with Fedora
Core 5. I recently got an E-mail from Red Hat's Bugzilla that many
problems have been fixed in the 2.6.18 kernel. Sure enough, the PCMCIA
cards I have seem to work fine now on the R3000Z with the new kernel.

If you are still having trouble with cards not working in Fedora please
update the bug to let them know:

Is this a RedHat/Fedora patch or part of the mainline kernel sources?
At some point it had been "fixed" before, but I'm running a stock
2.6.17.8 and it still doesn't work without either patches or using setpci.

I don't know where it got fixed. I assumed by the wording of the E-mail
I received that the fixes were in the 2.6.18 mainline kernel.
