deprecated ioctl on debian etch

[Marge Coahran]

I have an old Dell Inspiron 400 laptop (from 2001) running Debian etch, 
which I would like to upgrade to lenny.

I have the current (for etch) debian packages for pcmciautils and udev, 
but I still get the following message in /var/log/dmesg:
   pcmcia: Detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage from process: discover.
   [snip]

I am confused, since the referenced website seems to say that an upgrade 
to pcmciautils is the solution -- but I have that.

Also, can anyone tell me whether support will indeed be withdrawn from the 
kernel, and if so when? In particular, will an upgrade to debian lenny 
break something for me?

Regards,
Marge
