PCMCIA
/etc/modules may need to contain the following for some old PCMCIA to function:
# ISA PnP driver isa-pnp # New Low level PCMCIA driver # yenta_socket # does not seem to be needed in my case
The rest is taken care of by PCMCIA scripts (from the pcmcia-cs
package), depmod and kmod. I think I needed isa-pnp because my laptop is an old ISA-PCMCIA. Recent laptops with CardBus/PCMCIA may not require this.
Voice of the genius Miquel van Smoorenburg miquels@cistron.nl:
"I simply removed the entire pcmcia stuff from the laptop here at work, including the cardmgr etc and just installed a 2.4 kernel with cardbus support, and the new hotplug package from woody.
As long as you only have 32-bit cards you don't need the pcmcia package; 2.4 has card services built in. And the standard tulip driver should work fine with your dlink card.
