The previous pcmcia modules directory renamed:
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/modules-pcmcia-withcardbus-431.tgz
It contains the cardbus (cb) modules.  Has anyone used them with BL?

Only 16-bit pcmcia modules without wireless (in a client directory)
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/modules-pcmcia-431.tgz

The wireless modules were in a separate wireless directory:
(airo.o hermes.o orinoco.o and the *cs.o modules)
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/modules-pcmcia-wireless-431.tgz

I edited blfiles.htm to provide links.  Please report errors.

You can put them all in /lib/modules/2.4.31/pcmcia
or /lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/client and ...../wireless

I had deleted my pcmcia stuff and had to recompile.  It is simple to 
compile the pcmcia modules if you already have kernel source tree.  Do 
NOT enable pcmcia in kernel source config.  make config make all.

Compiling pcmcia made a bunch of tools.  Does anyone want ide_info ifport 
ifuser pcic_probe and scsi_info?

http://keesan.freeshell.org/cardctl-glibc225

The latest (or nearly latest) cardmgr and cardctl for glibc 2.2.5 but the 
ones from Slackware should also work.  Steven provided only cardmgr, which 
can be used to get card info but the websites all call for cardctl. 
cardmgr -o
