[ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [cgutman] 46876: [PCMCIA] - Add a mostly stubbed PCMCIA driver - pcmcia.c is complete but fdo.c and pdo.c are completely unimplemented

[Daniel Reimer]

  Good luck in finding hobby programmers who do what you tell em to do. 
As long as you cant pay them, its hard to force them in direction. If 
they loose interest or fun in coding for ROS then we are not just 
stagnating, we are deserted. If you wanna risk this, feel free to. I 
cant and wont stop you.

And I still think PCMCIA is important and useful right now.

Well, you think VMs are more important than Real HW? You were kidding, 
right?! You were not at CLT 2010 so you might not know what ppl want out 
there. 75% of all questions were about real HW support and support for 
specific hardware which fails right now. So maybe you think that recent 
PnP and HAL fixes were badly used time, too? Real HW support is at least 
as important as internal improvements. Both is needed for a useable OS. 
And for real HW support we need, USB, PCMCIA, GFX Drivers running, WIFI 
, Printing and maybe even dial up. Especially the first two are 
important for debugging PCs without a Serial Port, which is a big 
problem right now.
