This has been trickling into the tree since October, and I guess I've managed to miss the significance until now, but anyway...

Starting in October, when Jérôme Duval checked in the headers and command line apps from PCMCIA-CS, the Linux 2.4 and older PCMCIA subsystem that has powered BeOS on laptops since R4.5, Haiku has been growing PCMCIA support. A PCMCIA raw bus manager joined them this month. This isn't everything needed for PCMCIA, but its more than a good start.

These were followed shortly afterwards by support for PCMCIA Echo Audio cards. The checkin logs here credit Patrick Lafarguette, who's own drivers are the focus of the story right below this one, who's obviously been a busy coder lately.

The flurry of checkins to Haiku all over the tree can make certain things go unnoticed for a while, as can be seen here. Progress continues at an incredible rate.
