Subject:   Pccard support still works with newbus, right?

I'm currently working on a driver for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 
PCMCIA adapter, as part of a project for the COMET lab people here
at Columbia. Lucent has a PCMCIA and an "ISA" version of this adapter,
however the ISA version is really just a PCMCIA card fitted into an
add-in PCMCIA controller card that mounts in an ISA slot (i.e. something
that lets you plug PCMCIA devices into a desktop host that doesn't have
any built-in PCMCIA slots). This adapter card has a Vadem 469 chip on it 
which, fortunately, is supported by our current pccard code. The system 
I'm testing on is running 3.0-RELEASE and I'm reasonably confident my 
code will work with 3.1-RELEASE too. As it stands now, I can get the
card probed and attached when I start pccardd, and everything seems
peachy.

What I need to know is if anybody has tested the pccard support in
4.0-CURRENT now that all the newbus stuff has been rolled in. If the
pccard support for the x86 still works under 'emulation' using an
ISA device shim, then that's fine. If not... well, then I suppoose
_I'm_ the one who's going to end up testing it.
