FWIW, a few months ago I searched the web for the warning about the usage of
the deprectaed pcmcia-ioctls. The vast majority came from Debian's discover
which seems to be no issue according to:

The other occurences I found have been fixed meanwhile. (I understand that I
might have missed rare cases this way)
