How to know which modules?  Start with those that seem most likely and
trial and error it out from there?

And the card database will be gleaned from a newer release of modules,
to include those that are most common?

Starting pcmcia services under BL2 invoked several commands (5, as I
recall) that were not satisfied - either because they were just missing
from the system, or because fuller versions were needed.  How do you plan
on getting around that?  Will the pcmcia package we're cobbling together
obviate some of those commands?
