I'm just making the switch to 5.X from 4.7 on my laptop and this is the first time I've had to deal with the NEWCARD stuff. My question is is there any easy way to experiment with unknown pcmcia/cardbus cards to get them to work without rebuilding the whole kernel, or at least modules? In 4.x, I can tweak a few lines in pccardd.conf and have unknown cards use different drivers, different options etc. I believe that _some_ of that info can be set in devd.conf, but it doesn't appear that all of it can. In particular, I have an unrecognized prisim2 card (known working with 4.7's wi driver) that I could previously just drop in to /etc/pccardd.conf but which now seems to require at least rebuilding a kernel module. Isn't this a functionality regression? or do I just not understand what I'm doing (be kind!)?
