[ltp] ISDN card

[Tod Harter]

There is a file in /etc/pcmcia on most distros, I think its 'config' or 
somesuch (not on my laptop now to poke around and refresh my memory). In this 
file is a list of every supported card. Its just a big text file that tells 
card services what drivers to load based on what string the card returns in 
response to an ident. You can use cardctl (with I believe the 'ident' 
command) to figure that part out. The other part is obviously having the 
driver itself...
