File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 3.1.32

Notes: The orinoco_cs driver has a major update from version 0.8 in the 3.1.31 pcmcia-cs package, to 0.9b. This fixes several serious problems so an upgrade is strongly recommended if you use this driver. Also I've made this driver the default in place of the older wvlan_cs driver. <p> This release also fixes a bug in handling of 3.3V 16-bit cards on ToPIC bridges. In retrospect the fix seems pretty straightforward but the chipset documentation isn't as clear as it could be. I think the problem only affected some laptops due to differences in how the BIOS set things up. <p> I made some minor changes to error handling in cardmgr so that it should be a little more obvious when reporting some common failure modes. Startup errors now are reported to the console as well as to the system log. And some kinds of config file errors now will get more helpful messages.
