Title:
  Installer unconditionally asks for PCMCIA options in expert mode

Status in “hw-detect” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “hw-detect” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  Installing Intrepid on a desktop machine in expert mode. At various
  points during the install (e.g. detecting and mounting the CD-ROM),
  the following exchange takes place:

  1. Installer asks "Start PC card services?"

  2. I say "No."

  3. Installer asks for "PCMCIA resource range options:"

  #3 is pointless in light of #2; the installer is asking for details on
  something that I already told it not to do. This problem is not
  present on Debian (as of Lenny RC1).
