Hello,
I think it is safe to drop that package too since I cannot find where in the code we are using any of the tools in it.
Pcmcia is long dead and I don’t think anyone on the team has any hardware to test this any more.
So please just bin it :)

I saw that the site Matthias had found had the latest version of pcmciautils but it was from 2011 so I would agree to removing this package from IPFire. As far as I am aware it was only used for pcmcia which was typically used on laptops and most if not all no longer have the pcmcia slot.
I will do a patch to remove this package.
Regards, Adolf.
