>Is there some logic or reason behind them being defaulted to off for these
that I'm just not seeing?
There are no defaults per ebuild. They are global (profile based). You can set
the pcmcia use flag in /etc/make.conf, if you want to have it enabled for all
ebuilds.
As a "specialist purveyor of guaranteed Linux-compatible wireless cards" the figure of 90% seems to me slightly excessive. I sell two types of Belkin card, both using the Ralink chipset (`emerge rt25000`) and both at the same price - over the past couple of months 40% of my orders have been for the PCMCIA (in fact Cardbus) model, 60% for the PCI model. |
