As of this time, 386bsd release 1.0 does not support
PCMCIA, nor does it support PCI.
However, any making submission to Bill Jolitz
about either bus will be consider, as well as
their code. :-)
And, why should we submit code to Bill so he can consider
incorporating it, without any attribution of the author, or without
any hint of its status for another year and a half, when such code is
already running in NetBSD, today?
Just curious... seems to me that Bill should be looking to actively
*pursue* code for this, since he's so far behind the times. That way
he won't be *another* full generation behind the other BSD's when his
next version comes out.
