Cannot load PCMCIA module for IBM ThinkPad

Hi all!

I am trying to install a Laptop using an ALICE-Server.

I use SuSE 7.3 and ALICE 0.94 and want to install from the Server via
Bootdisk and NFS. The Laptop is an IBM ThinkPad 2621 with a 3com LAN-Card
(Model 3CCFE574BT).

I always get an error message like "An error occurred during the network
configuration" when Alice tries to install the
modules. I included the modules i82365 and 3c574_cs in the
<SYS_INSMOD_MODULES> section and also tried it with the
<SYS_MODULES_AUTOPROBE> option set to "yes".

I can start a manual installation by installing the mentioned modules.
This happens automatically when choosing the menu entry "Load PCMCIA
modules". I'm a little bit confused that afterwards "Show loades modules"
says "Currently there are no modules loaded!", but anyhow the network
configuration then works.

I guess that the ALICE-Problem has something to do with the fact, that
Linuxrc handles PCMCIA modules somehow different to other modules. I
also can't load the needed modules using "Load modules automatically"
in the Linuxrc-menu.

Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this problem?


Thanks for your effords
