This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
-* in-kernel device<->driver matching
+* event handler initialization in struct pcmcia_driver (as of 2.6.13)
+ The event handler is notified of all events, and must be initialized
+ as the event() callback in the driver's struct pcmcia_driver.
+
+* pcmcia/version.h should not be used (as of 2.6.13)
+ This file will be removed eventually.
+
+* in-kernel device<->driver matching (as of 2.6.13)
PCMCIA devices and their correct drivers can now be matched in
kernelspace. See 'devicetable.txt' for details.
