.Sh INTRODUCTION
.Nx
provides machine-independent bus support and
drivers for PCMCIA (PC Card, Card Bus)
devices.
.Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES
.Nx
includes the following machine-independent PCMCIA
drivers, sorted by function and driver name:

.Pp
The supported PCMCIA controllers are those that are i82365 compatible.
.Sh NOTES
The default configuration of the pcic gives each controller 16
kilobytes of memory, to be shared between slots. Some PC card devices
require somewhat more memory than this; it may therefore be necessary
to adjust the
.Va iomem
and
.Va iosiz
parameters of the
.Va pcic
devices in the kernel config file to accomodate these cards.
