   Description: PCMCIA Card Services for Linux   
    This package provides the PCMCIA card manager daemon that can respond   
    to card insertion and removal events, loading and unloading drivers   
    on demand. PCMCIA cards are commonly used in laptops to provide   
    expanded capabilities such as network connections, modems, increased   
    memory, etc.   
    .   
    To use PCMCIA you need to have kernel modules available to support   
    it. These are included in the stock Debian 2.6 kernel   
    packages. However, if you have a 2.4 kernel, you need to have a   
    kernel-pcmcia-modules- package installed as well. There are   
    also pcmcia-modules- packages which include the stand-alone   
    kernel modules supplied by pcmcia-cs, but their use is deprecated.   
    .   
    It is strongly recommended that you have the hotplug package   
    installed in conjuction with pcmcia-cs. hotplug is the standard way   
    to configure PCMCIA network interfaces, and is required to be able to   
    use Cardbus (32-bit) cards. Furthermore, the wireless-tools package   
    is required by many wireless network adapters.
