fuzzy answer: if neither a) and b) are met, yes. > If you could elaborate a little on both a and b above I would > appreciate it. Or just a pointer to appropriate code to read. more accurate answer: check http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/howto.html - section 2.2 and determine whether the system you're inquiring about requires a "resource database". If yes, this resource database needs to be initialized by userspace, e.g. by initramfs, before one can use PCMCIA devices.
