well I'm not Rusty by a long shot, but I do see a problem with this, or at least a subtlety that needs taking into account: the pcmcia subsystem (I include cardmgr in that) has an internal declaration of the module name inside the module, and the filename of the module *HAS* to match that or things just won't work. ide-cs is the one at risk here; I've had to debug what turned out to be a mismatch during 2.4.2-era on this one and believe me, that's not funny.
