Hmm, I'm compiling pcmcia-cs from source (Debian woody package 
pcmcia-source, containing pcmcia-cs version 3.1.33) and I'm not seeing 
any /proc/bus/pnp unless I boot an -ac kernel. What module creates 
/proc/bus/pnp? I have the following pcmcia-cs modules loaded: 
pcmcia_core, ds, cb_enabler, i82365, and 3c575cb. I looked at the 
modules I don't have loaded and they all seem to be for devices that I 
don't have. Is this something that showed up in a newer version of 
pcmcia-cs, or perhaps something added to another vendor's package?
