I'm hoping they integrate my changes, but I don't speak for the
Nomad's.  If you grab the changes I posted earlier, you should have at
least the user-land stuff. :)

They should be almost *exactly* the same.

2.1.5R has no 'official' PCCARD support (although most of the code is
there), and 2.2 (aka. -current) has enabled the support and added
necessary drivers so that the cards are recognized.

What kernel modifications?  The code in -current (therefore any of the
recent SNAPS) is mostly functional already, although some of the Nomad
'features' don't yet exist in the -current code.  And, given the lack of
interest and help I've received it's not obvious when/if the code will
ever make it into -current.  (Yes, I'm a bit frustrated!)
