Re: Hints for notebook users

Hi Rogerio, 

Is ejecting the card necessary? 
I use 
        /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop 
to stop the cardmanager. 
Wouldn't that be enough?

Eject PCMCIA cards when they're not being used (they usually draw some power 
from the notebook battery, even when they're not being used). In general, 
disable hotpluggable devices, when not in operation;
