I mean that, if we have a card, lets say 'Compaq WL200'. It has 'manfid: 0x0138,
0x0002'. At least orinoco_cs or hostap_cs drivers can run this card.

in hostap_cs.conf we have:
card "Compaq WL200"
   version "Compaq", "WL200_11Mbps_Wireless_PCI_Card"
   bind "hostap_cs"

and in orinoco_cs.c we have:
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0138, 0x0002),

After the hostap driver is merged into the offical kernel, which driver the pcmcia
hotplug system will load? Orinoco_cs or hostap_cs? If someone want to use orinoco_cs
instead of hostap_cs and vice versa, what to do then?
