Hi Moritz, unfortunately, I have a new laptop that comes with nice card
slots built-in, so I haven't had the opportunity to test PCMCIA. I
haven't seen any oops with this laptop, so I guess you could close this
bug on my account. However, it would be good to confirm with Joey since
he reported the original behavior.
