Uhhmmm, pcmcia-modules is very important. A notebook doesn't have
connectivity without this (unless the notebook is using a modem hooked
to an internal serial port).

Debian 2.1 will be shipped with a 2.0.x kernel so I fail to understand
why bug #26657 is critical to the release of Debian 2.1.

I have to take a look at bug #27395 because pcmcia-modules works for
me.
