Within the kernel sources, you can find a file Documentation/pcmcia/driver-changes.txt , which outlines the most = important changes from a device driver's perspective. As you asked for an URL, = here it is: http://git.kernel.org/?p=3Dlinux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=3Dbl= ob;f=3DDocumentation/pcmcia/driver-changes.txt;h=3Ddd04361dd361afe814b98e= b46942924bda757f17;hb=3DHEAD Please note that this reflects the most current kernel version, = depending on your target, not all changes are necessary. I recommend using 2.6.36 or later kernels, though. These changes were done iteratively -- the 2.6. PCMCIA implementation therefore is still based on David Hinds' implementation for 2.4 (and earlier). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this list = (or me).
