The pcmcia modules are not installed by default, because only laptops need them. But I guess they don't hurt on desktop machine, so we might consider to install them by default. What do you think?

Defaults were present in the beta, but I had to remove them due to a bug in tasksel, which should have been fixed now (thanks Joey): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=284895 I'll test them again.
