Hi Joachim,

kernel headers are a no-go, so I'm tagging this bug wontfix.

Probably it would be best to look into pcmciautils and see if its
possible to reimplement the pcmcia scanner with sysfs (if lspcmcia can
use libsysfs instead of kernel-headers, so should anyone else...).
As I don't have a pcmcia card reader, I'm not able to do this.
You might be able to use the corresponding function in usbttyscanner.c
as an example how to use libsysfs. It's not hard, just somewhat
ill-documented.

Anyone who wants to send in a patch that switches pcmciascanner to
libsysfs should not hesitate to do so. Note that I'm not willing to
entertain patches copying the kernel headers or somesuch unless it is
demonstrated that libsysfs is not an option.

Kind regards

T.
