However, the pccardd probes are > user-land probes. But even those devices still have to be configured (statically) into the kernel. (By that, I mean they have to be listed in the config file that the kernel was built from.) I was thinking that sysinstall could get the complete list of configured devices, and then try an ifconfig on each one to see which ones had actually been probed and recognized by pccardd.
