IIRC, most of the PCMCIA GPS cards basically appear as serial cards and
simply use the serial interface to pump the data around. As such, mostly
they need drivers that speak the NMEA protocol rather than something
that knows how to talk to a specific card. I don't know if the same is
true for cf cards though.
