Thanks for your time Russell! I think it's sad if the kernel has no more 
support this so common pci-pcmcia bridge chip (pd6729) as it did in the 
2.4 series via external pcmcia package. The code is almost there so 
there shouldn't be a lot of work to do?

For me personally the lack of pd6729 driver causes that I have to live 
with 2.4 kernel (this is hard because of the other drivers I need will 
only compile against the 2.6 in the future), change my 100% working 
hardware or switch to windows. I will try to avoid the latter 
alternative as long as possible :)
