Description:

Many laptop machines (and some non-laptops) support PCMCIA cards for
expansion. Also known as "credit card adapters," PCMCIA cards are small
cards for everything from SCSI support to modems. PCMCIA cards are hot
swappable (i.e., they can be exchanged without rebooting the system) and
quite convenient to use. The kernel-pcmcia-cs package contains a set of
loadable kernel modules that implement an applications program interface,
a set of client drivers for specific cards and a card manager daemon that
can respond to card insertion and removal events by loading and unloading
drivers on demand. The daemon also supports hot swapping, so that the
cards can be safely inserted and ejected at any time.

Install the kernel-pcmcia-cs package if your system uses PCMCIA cards.
