Bug#248071: TODO for hw-detect and/or pcmcia-cs



The upshot of this for hw-detect and pcmcia-cs is that they have to
be set up in one of the two following ways.

1. pcmcia-cs ifups/ifdowns interfaces on 16 bit PCMCIA cards
   by default (as now) and hw-detect does not list such interfaces
   in /etc/network/devhotplug, instead listing them in
   /etc/network/devcardmgr (so that netcfg knows not to mark them
   as "auto").  (This requires a change to hw-detect.)
2. pcmcia-cs does not ifup/ifdown interfaces on 16 bit PCMCIA cards
   by default (which requires a change to pcmcia-cs) and hw-detect
   lists such interfaces in /etc/network/devhotplug (as now).

Currently, pcmcia-cs ifups/ifdowns interfaces on 16 bit PCMCIA cards
and hw-detect lists such cards in /etc/network/devhotplug, which
is not one of the reasonable options: we shouldn't have hotplug and
cardmgr battling for control of those interfaces.
