[ltp] Kernel 2.4.20 and PCMCIA

[James Mckenzie]

Adam and all:

I have used PCMCIA devices, such as an IBM Home and Away card without 
problems from either a warm or cold boot.  Which distro are you using 
(I'm on RH 8.0 with the 2.4.20-18.8 kernel straight out of the box).  I 
do have to use network manager to set up eth0 to work with the card, but 
a read through dmesg and I found the device type and fixed it right up.
