At least from 2.6.13 on, it will be much easier if you have the PCMCIA

that's a
different story). Therefore, I do not see any drawbacks to having
the PCMCIA
modules built into the kernel.
Under such a setup, what is the easiest method to shut down the
bridge chip
for power savings? On my Debian laptop where said drivers are
modular, I can
run "/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop" to unload the module and disable the
PCMCIA chip,
saving a noticeable amount of power. Is there some equivalent for
compiled-in
drivers? Thanks!

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best
answer:
"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't.
That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
