 This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
 
+* Unify detach and REMOVAL event code (as of 2.6.16)
+        void (*remove)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
+
 * Move suspend, resume and reset out of event handler (as of 2.6.16)
        int (*suspend)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
        int (*resume)           (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
