Juan,
Here is what I get:
======================================================================
[root@cmhplap root]# service pcmcia start
Starting PCMCIA services: modulesinsmod:
/lib/modules/2.4.4-1mdk/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o: No such file or directory
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.4-1mdk/pcmcia/i82365.o: No such file or
directory
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.4-1mdk/pcmcia/ds.o: No such file or directory
cardmgr.
====================================================================
[root@cmhplap root]# ifconfig

[root@cmhplap root]#
===============================================================
Now, if I use modprobe by itself I don't get any error messages. I think
the problem is with whatever is calling insmod.
Here are my versions of modutils and kernel:
=============================================================
[root@cmhplap root]#
[root@cmhplap root]# rpm -q modutils
modutils-2.4.6-1mdk
[root@cmhplap root]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.4.4-1mdk
[root@cmhplap root]#
===============================================================
Please let me know if you need anything else.
