(Note how I deleted everything after the above including the section at 
the end about Basiclinux, rather than replying to the entire previous 
posting with a short comment at the very end.  All of these emails get 
archived eventually).

Web research on "insmod:  Could not load the module:  Success"  brought me 
to a page about a busybox 1.1.1 patch for insmod (but 1.1.0 worked and 
we have 1.0.1). ???

Try Slackware insmod?  Or you can try my 2.4.31 kernel with busybox 1.3.2 
(which won't work right with 2.2 kernels).

I assume this is tcic.o from BL3 site.  A BL3 posting in the archives 
(accessed from the BL3, support link, bottom of page) mentioned this 
message when someone tried to insert source code instead of the actual 
module.  ELF is compiled code.

This module is used for the Databook TCIC-2 host controller family, found 
in some 486 laptops. Do other pcmcia cards work in your laptop with 
standard BL3 pcmcia setup?

Did you insmod pcmcia_core.o first?

Please repost your original error message (using standard pcmcia setup 
without tcic.o).  What model is your laptop?

Since the most recent postings are not yet archived, it makes sense to 
repeat a little info in responses.  I deleted previous postings on this 
subject to save space.
