Sure, I understand. In fact I would rather have it later than have it buggy. I just wanted to have a feeling about its maturity/stability level. 
Yet again, maybe when the update is released, a header-compatible cardbus beta could be released to aid those interested (like myself) in further testing it.

So when it works, it will support hotplug. That's what I wanted to know.

What can I do to help? I mean, in practice. I'm a programmer, but I don't know how to write a driver. Should I collect configuration information about my hardware? Where should I post it? 

Give me something to do and I won't bother you for a while :-)
