This option enables support for 16-bit PCMCIA cards. Most older
PC-cards are such 16-bit PCMCIA cards, so unless you know you're
only using 32-bit CardBus cards, say Y or M here.
- To use 16-bit PCMCIA cards, you will need supporting software from
- David Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
- for location). Please also read the PCMCIA-HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

+ Some PCMCIA cards require an updated Card Information Structure (CIS)
+ to be loaded from userspace to work correctly. If you say Y here,
