I did not compile the pcmcia modules, I used the ones from SW10.2

On my second try, I answered N to Hotplug instead of Y to Hotplug and M to 
module and got even worse results.  I thought you said to answer N if I 
wanted to use the precompiled modules.

I posted my config file.  Should I change Hotplug back to Y and PCMCIA to 
M and Cardbus to M and Y, and maybe SMC91C92 to M?  Should I compile my 
own PCMCIA modules so they don't look for PM or PNP?  I think that means 
downloading the source code and learning how to make config for it.

Steven's kernel works and there is nothing in it about HOTPLUG or 
PCMCIA=Y.

Do you want to take over?

It did not work, pnp unresolved message.

I think so.  I think this is what someone else posted and they were told 
it is not linux compatible.

ide_register, actually.  Someone posted in Hungarian, same message.

I had to say Y to hotplug to even get asked about PCMCIA.  I may have said 
N to Cardbus after that.

I think I need a Cardbus module yenta_socket.o instead of i82365.o and a 
_cb module for the card, neither of which I have for 2.2.26 or the _cb 
even for 2.4.31.  I found this card listed with a _cb module in the big 
config file from the SW10 pcmcia package.  Steven does not have any _cb 
modules posted.  I have a 3C575B and he has a 3c574_cs.o.  Maybe the 
neighbor will trade me his Netgear card for this 3Com one he gave me.

Can you get PCMCIA to work with 2.4.31 and some older card (non-Cardbus?).
I have been trying for a few days now.
