-		The PCMCIA framework used by laptops and mobile devices
-		has changed with kernel version 2.6.13-rc1 onwards. The
-		older <filename>pcmcia-cs</filename> package using the
-		cardmgr/pcmcia service has been replaced with a new
-		<filename>pcmciautils</filename> package where the
-		PCMCIA devices are handled directly with the hotplug
-		system using udev dynamically in this &FED; release.
-		This increases both efficiency and performance of the
-		system. More information about these changes are
-		available from <ulink
-		  url="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html</ulink>.

-		instead of the targeted and strict policy mechanisms
-		used by previous versions of &FED;.  The reference
-		policy provides better modularity, flexibility and
-		configurability, along with other enhancements. This
-		version also adds support for MCS (Multi Category
-		Security) enabled by default and MLS (Multi Level
-		Security) security sub-systems within the SELinux
