My experience with SRAM cards and the 2.6 kernel (summary: no go)

I'm running Fedora Core 2.

The pcmcia-cs package hasn't been updated for the 2.6 kernel because it 
contains its own built-in PCMCIA support. Therefore even if you compile 
up a version of pcmcia-cs the memory_cs module that worked under 2.4 
still won't work under 2.6.

PCMCIA flash/SRAM support in the 2.6 kernel is broken. The file:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/mtd/maps/Kconfig

contains the following section:

---------------------------------------------------------------
config MTD_PCMCIA
        tristate "PCMCIA MTD driver"
        depends on MTD && PCMCIA && MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS && BROKEN
        help
          Map driver for accessing PCMCIA linear flash memory cards. These
          cards are usually around 4-16MiB in size. This does not include
          Compact Flash cards which are treated as IDE devices.
--------------------------------------------------------------

which DOES NOT enable the critical CONFIG_MTD_PCMCIA keyword that lets 
you compile the pcmciamtd.o module.

Even if you hack it in pcmciamtd.o doesn't work.

I believe that last version of Linux in which I was able to run 
pcmcia-cs/memory_cs was 2.4.21.
