I'll try to address what I think is the fundamental problem: your PCMCIA modules are not installed.

Unfortunately, "dpkg --list" truncates package names (a real pain, in my opinion), so it's difficult to determine the exact name of the package to pass to "apt-get". For that reason, I usually use "dselect" to find and install problematic packages like that. Hmmm... I thought I'd read something in your original post that lead me to believe you were running a 2.2 kernel... I'm not sure it that's the case; anyway, if you're running a 2.4 kernel, the package name will be "kernel- pcmcia-2.4.xx". > > # apt-get install pcmcia-cs > Reading Package Lists...
