CARDBUS — 32-bit CardBus support
CardBus is a bus mastering architecture for PC-cards, which allows for 32-bit PC-cards (the original PCMCIA standard specifies only a 16-bit wide bus). Many newer PC-cards are actually CardBus cards.
To use 32-bit PC-cards, you also need a CardBus compatible host bridge. Virtually all modern PCMCIA bridges do this, and most of them are "yenta-compatible," so enable that option too.
