I have had a problem until 2.6.20 was out with pcmciautils (it did not recognise the second function of multi-functions pcmcia cards that needed a firmware .cis file), and the only way to use it was with cardmgr, way after Nov 2005 :-). Now it is solved (modulo that sometime the pcmcia modem is ttyS1, sometime ttyS2, but that's another history --- and probably my fault). But I wonder if similar problems are hidden away... what about put the ioctls under a normally-disabled option and let a kernel out with it?
