It is also experimental. If you don't need cardbus, don't use it; some features are missing, such as eject/reinsert. Now, many people are using newcard with excellent results. Since it's newer, however, it has all the usual -current caveats. Then again, if you're running -current, you obviously have no respect for your data anyway, so go ahead. :) On Wed, Oct 10, 2001 at 09:15:30AM +0930, Benjamin Close wrote: > Hi All, > Could someone please explain the main difference between using a > GENERIC kernel and a NEWCARD kernel.
