[gentoo-user] pcmcia confusion

[karsten]

hi list: I have troubles to understand what I should be using to get a
RME HDSP Multiface working properly on my laptop. I just realised that
the pcmcia-cs package is obsolete and I should use pcmciautils instead.
I googled around for a bit to find a gentoo howto, 

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_PCMCIA_NIC

and tried to follow that to get the new way working. The problem is
though, that when I, following the tutorial, 
	emerge -av pcmcia pcmcia-cs-cis 

--> [blocks B     ] sys-apps/pcmcia-cs (is blocking
sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-cis-3.2.8-r1)
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.9_pre20050614  USE="X gtk
-trusted -vanilla -xforms" 
[ebuild  N    ] virtual/pcmcia-2.6.13  
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-cis-3.2.8-r1 

The thing is, that pcmcia-cs, the old package with the init script etc
get merged, but not pcmciautils. Should I just emerge pcmciautils,
without the virtual in this case? What are other ppls experiences with
this, maybe even specifically with HDSP?

thanks, 

Karsten

I use the 2006.1 profile, and a >=2.6.13 kernel.
