is a kickstart 3.1 bug

From what I understand it isn't a bug per se..
There can be conflicts because of overlapping memory space.
So I believe Commodore disabled the PCMCIA for that possible situation..
That said, there "can" be conflicts, doesn't mean there will be.
It probably depends quite a bit on which type of PCMCIA card you are running..

I can imagine a PCMCIA memory card might be very likely to conflict...

But I've heard from several people with PCMCIA network cards and 3.0 and have reported no problems...

Now, that might depend on the PCMCIA driver and what you're doing also....
