http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/*la* -

bzimagla.431 configla.431 (put into DOS \baslin directory)
modules-la-431-nonpcmcia.tgz (unpackage in /lib/modules/2.4.31/pcmcia)
modules-la-431-pcmcia.tgz (/lib/modules/2.4.31/misc; see below)

Testing working with 16-bit PCMCIA cards:

CF adaptor (ide-cs) as hde1 (ATA-IDE device)
non-Win-non-56Kflex modem (serial_cs)
non-Cardbus ethernet card (pcnet_cs) - tested only as far as ifconfig and ping (we don't have the dongle that goes with it, which is BNC)

In 2.4.31 pcnet cs needs not just "misc/8390" but first "misc/crc32"
so put that on any line where you see misc/8390.

Put all the pcmcia modules in /lib/modules/2.4.31/pcmcia and the rest in /misc, or you can copy, move or symlink non-pcmcia modules crc32.o and 8390.o to /pcmcia and skip the misc/ If you don't do either it looks in /pcmcia for everything and can't find those two modules.

Can someone explain how to use Cardbus (32-bit) PCMCIA cards by the Hotplug method that DamnSmallLinux is using, with the normal non-PCMCIA modules (using PCI modules 3c59x.o, crc32.o, tulip.o etc.) ?
