Actually, it's worse than that.

With 2.6.14-rc2, cardmgr can't even start up, so it can't register
any memory or IO regions.  Effectively, this has broken the ioctl
interface _right_ _now_.

I also believe you are raising the bar to having working PCMCIA too
much by deprecating the ioctl method in such a short space of time.
Embedded folks take _years_ to adopt new ideas - some of them haven't
even adopted things like udev or hotplug yet.

You can't force them to do so either - they'll stick with some random
old kernel version in preference to upgrading to something new.

Can pcmciautils at least work without udev?
