In general, you either build the kernel-tree PCMCIA support, or you build the standalone PCMCIA modules. The Configure script checks to see if CONFIG_PCMCIA is turned on in your kernel; if it is, then it will only build cardmgr and the other user tools. If CONFIG_PCMCIA is off, then it will build all the kernel modules. The reason for this is that there may be version skew between the PCMCIA stuff in the kernel tree, and what is in the separate package. If the kernel PCMCIA is on, then cardmgr etc are built against the kernel PCMCIA headers, not the headers included in the PCMCIA package. Building the modules, when you've also built stuff into the kernel, is messy: we don't want to build stuff that conflicts. -- Dave |
