I thought drivers for the cardbus cards were the same as standard PCI cards. I know that as far as networking goes, the same driver runs a cardbus 3com 3c575 and the pci 3c905. Same with netgear's cardbus FA510 and PCI FA310. I'm not a kernel developer, but this is what I've understood. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals
