Actually, 5.0 with NEWCARD kernel (GENERIC and so on) introduces full
CardBus support and pccardd doesn't need anymore.

You're wrong:

What is the card? Does kernel identify card when it's inserted?

btw, question for all:

Since there's no pccardd anymore, how could I assign address etc. 
to network interface when card is attached? 

Address setup works at boot time if NIC is attached, but if I remove
and insert the card again - nope. No network setup and so I have to
run ifconfig manually.

I suppose that's what devd for, but not sure.
