help with new lh7a400 driver.

[James Ronald]

Dominic,

I figured out my problem.  I had forgot about registering the platform
device.  Although there are many loose ends to come back and finish
the driver is currently with busybox mdev, pccardctl,  pata_pcmcia,
wireless tools and the orinoco wireless driver. Unfortunately, it will
be some time before I can get back to the pcmcia stuff and add
suspend/resume and such.    I do have one additional question.
Displaying the running processes shows two instances of pccardd.  Is
it correct that there would be one instance for each socket?
