You also need to add "device" and "card" 
specifications to /etc/pcmcia/config

---------------------------
device "ide_cs"
class "ide" module "ide_cs"
---------------------------
That configs ide_cs as a possible device.

--------------------------------
card "ACE DoubleFlash 20MB"
version "IBM", "IBM17JSSFP20"
bind "ide_cs"
                             
card "Simple Tech Compact Flash"
version "STI Flash"
bind "ide_cs"
--------------------------------
Those (examples) tell cardmgr to load ide_cs when it
reads those ID strings from inserted cards.  You will
need to substitue the ID string from your actual card 
-OR- use the manfid values from your card -OR- put in 
a function line (instead of version or manfid).

I suggest you look in /etc/pcmcia/config from a recent
Slackware to get some more examples.  Compact flash 
devices were relatively new when Slackware 7.1 was 
compiled so it only has the two above examples.  
Hopefully you will find better examples in a more 
recent one.  BTW, if you can find a generic config 
for compact flash (using function instead of version 
or manfid), that would be the most useful (assuming
it actually works for your card).

All of the above is theoretical.  I do not personally
have a PCMCIA compact flash card/adapter, so I cannot
try this myself.  If I did, I would happily add the
config to BL3.

Cheers,
Steven
