(I guess you mean /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptl/modules.pcimap.)

Sorry. I didn't say that ;) .

But what about:

$ grep PCMPC /etc/pcmcia/*
/etc/pcmcia/config:  version "Linksys", "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card
(PCMPC100)"
? What is that file meant to do? Shouldn't such an entry be cloned to
get the card recognized and another entry to specify the device driver
(if it doesn't exist)?

Bye,
Leonard.
