Re: [ACPI-sppt] ACPI but no PMCIA Wireless

First do a 'locate pcmcia_core'  the file pcmcia_core.o should be found
in your lib/modules folder for your kernel 

/usr/share/man/man4/pcmcia_core.4.gz
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-19.8/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-20.8/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8dnoyeb/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8dnoyeb/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-19.8dnoyeb/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-19.8dnoyeb/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8dnoyeb2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8dnoyeb2/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o

If its there then you need to do this patch that I forgot about.  Their
is a bug in the pcmcia file and if it finds the directory 

/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8dnoyeb2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o

Then it tries to do some faulty code.

edit your pcmcia file, and look for lines similar to below
emacs /etc/init.d/pcmcia

            KD=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/pcmcia
            if [ -d $PC ] ; then
                echo -n " modules"
                /sbin/insmod $PC/pcmcia_core.o $CORE_OPTS
                /sbin/insmod $PC/$PCIC.o $PCIC_OPTS
                /sbin/insmod $PC/ds.o
            elif [ -d $KD ] ; then
                /sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core
                /sbin/modprobe $PCIC
                /sbin/modprobe ds
            else
                echo $" module directory $PC not found."
                break
            fi

This code is from my desktop that is RH8.  But my laptop is RH9 and I
think the first if-elif was messed up.  Make sure yours looks exactly
like mine above.  I will check at home to be sure when I get home.

The problem was that instead of
/sbin/insmod $PC/pcmcia_core.o $CORE_OPTS

there was
/sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core or something like that.

all I had to do what change modprobe to insmod and add the preceeding
$PC/ in front of pcmcia_core and in front of $PC/$PCIC.o and in front of
$PC/ds.o


alternatly you can delete the directory 
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.8dnoyeb2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/

Will know fore sure when I get home...
