Could you please file a bug against 'udev':

  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/udev/+filebug

along with the output from:

  $ lspci
  $ lspci -n

(to get the PCI-ID of the Cardbus/PCMCIA controller and check that it is a
known number).

Currently (in Dapper), 'pcmciautils' is used:

  $ apt-cache rdepends pcmciautils
  pcmciautils
  Reverse Depends:
    ubuntu-minimal

There's not enough room on the CD for everything everyone would
like;  luckily that's not a problem it's only an:

  $ sudo apt-get install smartmontools

away, for you!

Could you file a bug if you're having issues and can track them down:

  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+filebug

(or against 'xscreensaver' or the KDE equivalent if you use those).

Can you file a bug at:

  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/klaptopdaemon/+filebug
