pcmciautils uses *.cis file for cis-updates?

But in pcmcia-check-broken-cis.c there is:

static struct needs_cis cis_table[] = {
        /* "D-Link DE-650 Ethernet" */
        NEEDS_CIS_ENTRY(0x40, 0x0009, "D-Link PC Ethernet Card", "D-Link.dat"),
        /* "Linksys Ethernet E-CARD PC Ethernet Card */
        NEEDS_CIS_ENTRY(0x40, 0x0009, "E-CARD PC Ethernet Card", "E-CARD.dat"),
        { },
};

..so this loads the binary cis (.dat ) file and the module loads the ascii verison
of cis (.cis) ? Is there a need for both ?
